Purple is the backbone of every synthwave setup. Fullscreen this page on a monitor, TV, or projector and the room takes on an instant retro-neon cast - a favorite backdrop for streaming corners, gaming rooms, and party walls. Add our pink screen or blue screen on another device for a full gradient wall.

Purple Light for Photos and Video

A purple glow adds drama to portraits and product shots without gels or LED panels. Position the screen close for saturated color, farther for a subtle tint. Two devices - one purple, one pink - create the two-tone look that dominates music videos.

Purple Screen Display Test

Purple lights the red and blue sub-pixels while leaving green off. A dot that stays dark here but lights up on our green screen has a green-channel fault; the reverse points to red or blue.

A Restful Alternative

Deep purple at low brightness is one of the gentler colors for evening ambiance - noticeably calmer than white or blue, though for genuine night-vision-friendly light, red is still king.
