Paris Purple

 When a color or style is trendy/tendance in Paris

 You see it everywhere

 And not just in fashion or accessories like scarves...

 What about a purple/le pourpre bag/sac to carry your baguette home in?

 Purple CHOCOLATE lipstick?

 Purple/violette/le pourpre flowers will go well with you purple outfit

 The essential touch of yellow (the color compliment of purple) will make the purple that much more intense
 Yellow is directly across the color wheel from purple so they're buddies and will always enhance each other.

 Someone in the Metro was thinking about color compliments...

 And this poster designer too.

 Window dressers must be aware of how colors behave. It doesn't take much either - just a touch of the opposite color can do a world of good, like in this Printemps Xmas window with Dior dollies.

 A Disney dollie decked out in purple in Galeries Lafayette window surrounded by yellow flowers.

 Someone needs to drop a hint in this papeterie display, ahem

Greengrocers and boulangeries always know their color wheel. They play and display colors everyday. These eclairs could be bleu but surrounded by yellow they take on a purplish look.
What do you think?
