LomoChrome Purple is a color negative film that captures life in a very unique way.

LomoChrome Purple film lets you explore the color spectrum like you never have before. Blue becomes green, green becomes purple, yellow becomes pink. Red tones stay red, which keeps skin colors natural in a sea of trippy tone.  Aside from its remarkable color quality, the New LomoChrome Purple delivers vibrant photos with superb sharpness. You can shoot it in any weather condition and achieve breathtaking effects without using any special filters.  Control the color changes in your photos by selecting different ISO settings. Green tones will become a shiny purple when you use an ISO 100 setting, but with an ISO 400 setting greens will instead become a darker indigo.

Love the Purple

Rated 5 out of 5
May 20, 2025

I bought two rolls just to give it a try and fell in love. The purple color shift is really exquisite and its fun seeing the world through a most pleasant color shift. I had to stock up. If you’re looking at this vs Lomo’s Turquoise, go with the purple. The turquoise can get strange looking–I like it–but it takes some getting used to. Purple? You’ll love it from the get go.Show more

Thanks for the thoughtful review! Totally agree – the purple shift is such a fun and unique look. Glad you stocked up and are enjoying it!

Awesome Film

The right situations yield great images! Obviously used in moderation, but anything that has a vast number of green or blue hues is a candidate for Purple!

The switched colors gave me another factor to think about when composing my shots, and it gave them some very interesting effects. I was impressed by the sharpness this film is capable of, as well. My one complaint would be that the shadows are kind of muddy, especially when I meter for 400 ISO, I think. I will be buying more of this to experiment further!Show more
