Sparkling Purple

Sparkling

Sparkling is an optical phenomenon exhibited by materials, both solids and liquids, in which numerous points of light appear and disappear, or change in brightness as the material, observer, or light source moves, creating an impression of brilliance and visual movement. In many materials, this effect results from specular reflection by small reflective particles, facets, or flakes that direct incident light toward the observer, although sparkling can also result from refraction and other optical phenomena.

Purple

Purple is a color similar in appearance to violet light. In the RYB color model historically used in the arts, purple is a secondary color created by combining red and blue pigments. In the CMYK color model used in modern printing, purple is made by combining magenta pigment with cyan pigment, black pigment, or both. In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, purple is created by mixing red and blue light in order to create colors that appear similar to violet light. According to color theory, purple is considered a cool color.
