Meaning Of The Color Purple
The word 'purple' comes from the Old English word Purpul which originates from the Latin Purpura. This in turn is derived from the Koine Greek (Porphyra), name of the Tyrian purple dye manufactured in classical antiquity from a mucus secreted by the spiny dye-murex snail.The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye made from a Mollusc that in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple was also called imperial purple
