Whether it’s just a color trend, or more of a ‘way of life‘, we think it’s a color that’s definitely on-trend this year. At Envato, we’ve seen a plethora of purple designs on our marketplaces, and on Envato Elements. We’ve also seen a stellar amount of space-inspired websites and space-inspired graphic designs.
