For centuries, azurite has been used to create a blue pigment for paints and dyes. Found in the same geological environments as its sister mineral malachite, its colour is attributed to the presence of copper. This luxuriant paint shade is read from the deep facets of a particularly high-quality specimen, so rich in colour they are in fact purple.

Purple Azurite

Purple Azurite (715) is a luxurious, deep purple hue from Paint & Paper Library's 'Jewels' collection, introduced in January 2025. This opulent shade draws inspiration from azurite, a mineral historically used to create blue pigments for paints and dyes. Found alongside its sister mineral malachite, azurite's colour is attributed to the presence of copper. In high-quality specimens, the colour intensity is so rich that it appears purple, which influenced the creation of this paint shade.

Purple Azurite adds depth and sophistication to interiors, making it an excellent choice for creating dramatic spaces. It pairs well with colours like Plimsoll for a striking combination, or with light neutrals such as Salt I or Marble II for a balanced contrast.
