Personal colour analysis has surged in popularity in recent years and continues to make its rounds on social media — droves of people visit consultants to uncover which hues complement their skin tones best. And another colour-related trend just popped up on our radar: purple toothpaste. While it may seem unconventional, there’s a fascinating reason behind the choice of colour.

If you’re a beauty aficionado, you’re probably familiar with purple shampoos and concealers — products that neutralise brassiness in hair and dull undertones on faces respectively. That’s because purple and yellow are complementary colours that sit on the opposite ends of the colour wheel; they cancel each other out when mixed, leaving a neutral white shade in its wake.
And it turns out that such colour correction also extends to oral care! So if you have an important interview, date night, or special event coming up, there’s no better time to try this instant beauty hack and put the colour wheel theory to the test.
