This week’s Photo Challenge is the color Purple, a mix of warm reds & cool blues; a symbol of royalty. The word ‘purple’ comes from the Tyrian purple dye, manufactured from the mucus of a snail found on the shores of Tyre in ancient Phoenicia (Lebanon). This dye was highly prized in antiquity because instead of fading the color became more intense with weathering and sunlight! Some interesting facts and associations with the color Purple.
