Make it (purple) rain: 5 ways to work Pantone’s Prince-inspired color into your life
Feel like a rockstar everyday with these purple-hued products

MANILA, Philippines – Pantone recently paid tribute to pop icon Prince by unveiling its new custom color, Love Symbol # 2, on August 8.

The new color, now named the official hue for the late singer’s brand and estate, is a distinct shade of purple – somewhere between a pastel and a jewel tone, a deep violet hue with a hint of grey.

As Pantone said on their site, it was inspired by the color Prince often wore onstage (earning him the moniker “The Purple One”), his song “Purple Rain,” and his custom-made purple Yamaha piano. The color’s curious name is taken from the glyph on the singer’s Love Symbol album. 

 

From beauty products, to clothes, to home accessories, these products get as close to Love Symbol #2 as they can, making your everyday life just a little bit more Princely.
