GLOSS - PURPLE SILK

Purple Silk is an exemplary shade of purple, inspired by a well-known chocolate factory along the Worcester & Birmingham Canal in Bournville. Bournville is traditionally renowned for its milk deliveries and its close connection with the Cadbury family, gloating the title of 'one of the nicest places to live in Britain'. The iconic purple is striking and vibrant yet holds a delicate touch of silky elegance.

Our Symphony Narrowboat Paint Gloss is a traditional ultra-high quality high solids coach enamel, achieving a 90% gloss sheen level. It is a high build long oil synthetic paint designed for brush, roller and spray application with a high level of pigmentation. This is the ultimate hardwearing durable finish for your boat coating project, boosting longevity and long-lasting colour retention. The deep colour flattens out to leave a smooth high gloss mirror finish. Also available in a Raddle finish for roofs and flat areas, or an anti-slip for walkways.

Complementary Colour

Black

Historically known for being Queen Victoria's favourite colour, Purple has ceremonial and powerful connotations. To keep the finish subtle and not too overwhelming, we recommend pairing with a touch of Black. The achromatic dark shade creates a simplistic contrast with the silky Purple hues. This colour combination is both luxurious and easy on the eye.
