Examples of Violet Symbolism

Coraline

After a recent move, Coraline’s parents are too distracted to notice that their daughter wants love and attention. She eventually rebels and follows her instincts by going through a violet purple portal to “The Other World.” Violet is a mysterious color that’s perfectly suited to this unusual gateway.

Hit-Girl

Bold. Brash. Crass. Hit-Girl isn’t your average superhero. She’s smart beyond her years and has a fouler mouth than a sailor. Her violet hair, boots, and leather suit are the perfect color for this rebel with a cause.

The Incredibles

Violet is the perfect name for the daughter in the Incredible family. She’s not only defiant and bold, but she also has a modest side that makes her slightly shy. The color violet purple is used in her powerful protective bubble, which goes around the people she loves.
