Genestealer Purple is a balanced mid-purple that does the unglamorous but essential job of a reliable midtone — rich enough to read as proper purple, even enough to layer cleanly. It's a natural for Tyranid and Genestealer carapace, but equally at home on purple cloth, robes and any regal scheme that needs depth without going muddy.
