Purple Instagram highlight covers: what to know
This page starts the instagram highlight cover maker for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the instagram highlight cover maker.
Lilac, lavender or deep violet
Light purples (lilac #b794f4, lavender #e6e6fa) give a soft, pastel set. Mid and deep purples (#7e57c2, #5b21b6, #4b0082) feel richer and work well with white letters. A gradient from light to deep keeps both looks in one circle.
If you want the exact shade from your brand or feed, paste its hex code into the top colour. The colour palette generator can build a full purple scale from it if you need a lighter or darker partner.
Icons that stay readable
White symbols need a deep enough purple behind them. The icon sits in the middle of the cover, where this gradient is a mid purple, so the white moon stays clear. For a pale purple set, use a deep violet icon colour instead of white.
Questions
What emoji go with purple highlight covers?
Purple emoji such as 💜, 🔮, 🍇 and 🦄 blend in. A white symbol like ☾ or ★ also works on the deeper part of the gradient.
Can I make a pastel purple set?
Yes. Set both colours to light purples and change the icon colour to a deep violet so symbols stay readable.
