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!
