Most of us would associate red, blue or pink with intimacy but to our surprise, these are not the colours that instigate passion in the bedroom . In fact, the colour that can be associated with sex is purple, which implies ultra violet or shades of purple.
Why colour Purple invites sexual intimacy?
Colour purple signifies luxury, quality, wealth and royalty, and an amalgamation of these properties lead to intimacy. So, for those who love this colour, go ahead and paint your bedroom walls with this shade as this will fuel up the passion in your sex life.

Tip: If you do not want to change the colour of your walls right away, shop for linen and upholstery in this colour. Blend it with silver sequin adorned cushion covers or linen covers and see the magic they create in your bedroom story!

When Purple wooed our hearts!
A popular chocolate brand uses this shade to attract its ‘adult’ target audience. With this colour, it is easy for adults to get attracted and indulge themselves in the chocolate.

Another example and rather a more relatable one was when the popular Bollywood actor Madhuri Dixit wore a purple sari in Hum Aapke Hain Koun? for a chart-buster song sequence. The sari has become an iconic reference for representing the actresses of 90s. Ditching the much loved colours of passion – red and pink, Madhuri Dixit wore a deep purple saree and wooed the nation.

Tip: If you do not appreciate glamour and shimmer, keep it simple with crisp white linen and few highlight lamps around to create that enchanting environment around.

Interestingly, most of the sex toys available online are in shades of purple and even condom brands use purple for attractive packaging.

What do the researchers say?
According to a new study, people who decorate their bedrooms in the colour have the most active sex lives. A survey of 2,000 British adults by retailer Littlewoods found that those with purple bedding or furniture had 3.49 “intimate encounters” per week.

Since sex is also about imagination – it plays with the purple part of our mind – the enchantment and magic. Colour purple instigates openness to play and creative imagination hence boosting your sex life.

Tip: Do not forget to light those perfumed candles to add that extra touch!

So, what are you waiting for? Go and grab the brush and paint the walls Purple.
