All Things Purple

Apparently, not only is purple one of the most beautiful colors, it was one so rare and pure that it was reserved for nobility. The color purple is associated with the supernatural possibly because it is the "most powerful visible wavelength of electromagnetic energy" (colormatters.com) In researching, I found that there are many meanings of the color purple (different shades have different meanings). "Purple can represent royalty, spirituality, nobility, ceremony, mysterious, wisdom, enlightenment, cruelty, arrogance, and mourning" (three-musketeers.net).
Culturally, the color purple has a mix of different meanings.
In Tudor Britain, violet was the color of mourning.
Julius and Augustus Caesar were referred to as "The Purple" and the only ones allowed to wear the noble color.
The Pop Star Prince's signature color is purple.
Violet was the royal color during Cleopatra's reign.
Purple is the color of contemplation.
