Hey, purple is my favorite color. It's the color between blue and red. What's yours?
I love purple too! 
It's so nice and very similar to violet, which is a color with it's own wavelength on the spectrum. 
I remember from school that Purple was the color worn by Roman magistrates
Wow, that's pretty cool. When you add it to pink it is often associated with eroticism. I might have to rethink my wardrobe!  
I read that  in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the Emperor and aristocracy.
Yes it is! We discovered that the word was fist used in 975 AD. That's a long time ago!
Yes and purple has a lot of history it is the color most often associated with royalty, magic, mystery, and piety
Such an interesting color! When old painters would use the color wheel they would place it with violet between red and blue as they were doing their masterpieces.
