Last updated: October 16, 2026
This disclaimer applies to all information on How to Make Purple (https://howtomakepurple.com), which is published for general information and education only. Please read this disclaimer before using any guide on the site.
Color Results Can Vary
Mixing ratios and recipes on this site are starting points, not guaranteed formulas. The color you get depends on the paint brand, pigment strength, surface, amount of water or medium, drying time and lighting. Always test a small swatch before starting a full project. Our purple paint guide explains why the same ratio can look different between brands.
Hex Codes Are Reference Values
Color names do not have one universal digital value. The HEX, RGB and CMYK values on this site, such as those in our shades of purple chart, are practical references. Colors also look different on different screens, and printed colors can shift depending on the printer and paper.
Safety Disclaimer
Some art materials carry health or safety warnings. Always read and follow the label and the manufacturer’s safety instructions. For art supplies, look for safety labeling such as the seals explained by the Art and Creative Materials Institute. For anything you plan to eat, use only colors approved for food, as described on the FDA color additives page.
- Use only food-safe coloring for anything you plan to eat, and check for allergies.
- Use resin, solvents and some paints only in a well-ventilated space, with the protective equipment the manufacturer recommends.
- Some artist pigments are not safe to swallow, breathe in as dust, or use on skin.
- Supervise children during all color mixing activities.
- Never use art supplies in food, cosmetics or on skin unless the product is made for that use.
