Purple Heart wood is prized for its beautiful, purplish-brown heartwood. The color of Purple Heart wood is quite unique and can range from a light lavender to a deep, dark purple. The color of the wood is the result of the presence of certain pigments in the wood called quinones. When the wood is freshly cut, the quinones are not fully developed and the wood has a pale, yellowish color. However, as the wood ages, the quinones become more pronounced, giving the wood its characteristic purple color. The depth and richness of the purple color can vary depending on the age and condition of the wood. In addition to its color, Purple Heart wood has a fine, even texture and a medium to high luster, which adds to its overall beauty and appeal.
