Violet Hour is a single-column Tumblr theme that gives images and writing a personal scrapbook setting. It suits diarists, artists, photographers, music bloggers and storytellers sharing observations and collected inspiration. Purplecore colour pairs with soft grunge texture, with violet dusk gradients behind paper-style posts and grainy photos. Handwritten scrawls and torn-tape edges add to the scrapbook feel. You can adjust six colours, toggle Original Photos or Smooth Sky, and add your own words through the Scribble text field.

This custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, plus search and pages. There is also an ask box. Adjust the Dusk and Glow colour pickers, then Paper and Ink. Scrawl and Pink have their own colour settings. Toggle Original Photos and Smooth Sky, and add your own text in the Scribble field.
