Primary Color: Purple Rugs and Purple Persian Rugs

In Iran, certain regions have taken to incorporating the color purple into the design of their rugs, creating beautiful and unique pieces of traditional artwork.

Among these regions, Mashad and Yazd rugs stand out for their masterful color combinations, including a purple hue. However, the use of purple as an accent color is not limited to only these regions.

In fact, we have also noticed the stunning use of the purple shade in Kerman, Qum, Qazvin, Sarouk, and Tabriz rugs. It is interesting to note that purple is a secondary color that is obtained by mixing two primary colors – red and blue.

The shade of purple obtained depends on the ratio of the mixture and the specific color of the red and blue used. Purple can range from a deep, rich violet to a lighter, almost lavender hue, depending on the exact color combination. This attention to detail in creating purple hues sets these Iranian rugs apart, making them truly one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
