Very pretty (even if it was very cold), if you're passing through Paris I recommend it!

So that's a brief biography of purple, which because of its historical rarity doesn't really have the same fixed associations or familiar links — other than, in its Tyrian form, with royalty — as other major colours.
Simultaneously the most majestic and mysterious of colours.

As for its popularity, despite being so rare — or perhaps even because of that — purple ranks highly in polls of favourite colours.
Beyond its royal symbolism, purple has come to represent ambiguity, difference, and mystery; suitable associations for an elusive, unusual colour.

One incredibly specific association is with the chocolate manufacturer Cadbury.
Its famous Dairy Milk was given purple wrapping in 1915 — because it had been Queen Victoria's favourite colour — and has had it ever since, thus creating a peculiarly British meaning for purple.

In 1856 an eighteen year old English chemistry student accidentally invented a purple dye — which came to be known as mauve — and thereafter purple clothes became incredibly fashionable for a few decades.
Further synthetic purples invented during the 19th century finally allowed painters to fully embrace it.
And it was the Impressionists, more than anybody else, who exploited the new possibilites of these many shades of purple — none more so than Claude Monet.

So purple, by virtue of its rarity in nature and the difficulty of reproducing it, has gained a sort of prestige and mystique unique among colours.
Red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and everything between are common and tend to have lots of associations — purple, not so much.

Beyond being difficult and expensive to reproduce as a dye or pigment, purple is also one of the rarest colours in nature.
Comparatively, few animals, plants, or natural phenomena are purple, and therefore we tend to notice it more when we do see it.
Purple is a "non-spectral colour", meaning it has no wavelength of its own but is always a combination of others on the visible light spectrum — red and blue, specifically.

In any case, these imperial association are not only European.
In Japan, for example, purple — produced in a different way — was also linked to royalty.
Once again, seemingly, because it was so difficult to manufacture and this scarcity led to an obvious prestige and reverence.

Because producing purple was so difficult and expensive — supposedly worth more than gold — it was scarce and therefore prized, and so it was favoured by royalty.
Purple is even mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically, to be used in the tabernacle.
Rulers all across the ancient world wore Tyrian purple, and so it became the colour of royalty, prestige, and might.
An association that has remained ever since.

Now, porphyra referred to a very specific purple dye produced by treating the secretions of a snail called the spiny dye-murex.
Thousands of these snails — only found in parts of the Mediterranean — had to be harvested to make even a small amount of this dye.
This practice of using the spiny dye-murex to create purple dye goes back 4000 years.
It was common in the ancient city of Tyre, and so the particular shade of purple it produced, came to be known as "Tyrian purple".

The best place to begin is with the word itself.
The English word purple descends from the Latin "purpura", which also meant "purple-dyed" rather than just referring to the colour.
Purpura came from the older Greek word "porphyra", which had the same meaning.

For your mental health, it is OKAY to:
• Cancel plans
• Set boundaries
• End friendships
• Change your mind
• Take a break

As far as France is concerned, there's no one quite like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). Her enthusiasm and passion light up the political landscape like a supernova. 🌠
Her values resonate with me on a deep level. Whether it's championing climate action, advocating for social justice, she's a force to be reckoned with.
And let's talk about generational talent—AOC embodies it. When the game is on the line, you bet she's in there swinging. 🎯

Books that describe the terrible conditions of medieval towns or whatever are always like "they had nothing to eat but bread, wine and a lump of cheese" and with all due respect to the difficulties of the past... that's my ideal meal.

A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken.

Lastly, I can’t wait to catch The Kills. Known for their catchy tunes and engaging stage presence, they are a band that has made a significant mark in the rock scene, and I’m eager to see what they bring to the stage. 🔥

Blonde Redhead is another highlight for me. If you're a fan of Rick and Morty, you might recognize their ethereal soundscapes. I'm captivated by the vibe of their music, and I'm eager to experience it live.
Their dreamy, slightly otherworldly tunes have that mystical quality. Picture swirling galaxies and existential musings set to music.🌠
