What the color says
Why purple?
Purple sits halfway between red’s energy and blue’s calm. It’s rare in nature, and for centuries it was the most expensive dye there was: it came from sea snails and was at times worth more than its weight in gold.
In 1856 William Perkin, an 18-year-old chemist, made the first synthetic dye by accident, and it turned out purple. Viola keeps that taste for the unusual: a page for introspection. Journals, lyrics, letters you won’t send and the project nobody has seen yet.
Made for
- Journaling

Four colors, four ways of thinking
Every Bocetta is one color all the way through. Pick the one that fits the work ahead, or simply the one you like most.
