A piano suited for a Prince. We take a look back to when Justin Elliott, founder of J.Elliott and Co. created a customer purple C7XSH piano for Prince for his then upcoming tour.
“I was sent a tiny piece of suede from one of his couches to match, and we went back and forth with him a number of times until he was satisfied. I had to use a lot of different gloss additives for the paint to make it really pop under stage lights.” - Justin says, on the process of getting that perfect shade of colour for Prince’s customized piano.
Interestingly, the colour then went on to become an official Pantone colour: Love Symbol #2.
