'''Purple''' in [[colloquial]] [[English language|English]] usage is any shade of [[color]] occurring between [[blue]] and [[red]]; this color is sometimes confused with the more narrowly-defined [[spectral color]] [[violet (color)|violet]]. |
|||
In [[color theory]] a ''Purple'' is defined as any non-[[spectrum|spectral]] color between violet and red. |
|||
==Properties== |
|||
On a [[chromaticity diagram]], the straight line connecting the extreme spectral [[color]]s ([[red]] and [[violet (color)|violet]]) is known as the ''line of purples'' (or ''purple boundary''); it represents one limit of [[human]] color perception. The color [[magenta]] used in the [[CMYK]] [[printing]] process is on the line of purples, but most people associate the term "''purple''" with a somewhat [[blue (color)|bluer]] shade. Some common confusion exists concerning the color names "purple" and "violet". ''Purple'' is a mixture of red and blue light, whereas violet is a spectral color. |

The [[color]] terms '''purple''' and '''[[violet (color)|violet]]''' cause confusion for many people, and they are often used interchangeably in casual conversation. Technically, purple when used as a general term in its most general sense is the name of the color group of many related colors such as '''violet''', [[red-violet]], [[heliotrope (color)|heliotrope]], [[lavender (color)|lavender]], [[mauve]], [[magenta]], [[rose (color)|rose]], [[indigo]] and [[lilac (color)|lilac]]. [[Indigo]] is a blue-purple; lilac is a light purple; mauve is between the two. [[Crayola]] [[crayon]]s have many shades of purple; see [[List of Crayola crayon colors]]. |
|||
''Violet'' is a [[spectral color]] of a (approximately 420–380nm) shorter wavelength than [[blue (color)|blue]], while purple is a combination of [[red (color)|red]] and [[blue (color)|blue]] light. The purples are colors on the [[color wheel]] that are not [[spectral color]]s – ''purples'' are ''extraspectral color''. In fact, purple was not present on [[Sir Isaac Newton|Newton's]] color wheel (which went directly from violet to red), though it is present on modern ones. There is no such thing as the "wavelength of purple light"; it only exists as a combination. Also, violet light varies solely by wavelength, while purple varies by the proportion of red to blue light.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} |
|||
On the [[CIE 1931 color space|CIE xy chromaticity diagram]], violet is on the curved edge in the lower left, while purples are the straight line connecting the extreme colors red and violet. |
|||
One interesting [[psychophysics|psychophysical]] feature of the two colors which can be used to separate them is their appearance with increase of light intensity. Violet, as light intensity increases, appears to take on a far more blue hue as a result of what is known as the [[Bezold-Brücke shift]]. The same increase in blueness is not noted in purples. |
|||
Violet cannot be reproduced by a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) color system, and must be simulated by a mixture of red and blue (purple). The shade of violet simulated in the color box above is halfway between [[magenta]] and [[blue]] on the [[color wheel]]. |

|||
==Etymology== |
|||
The word ''purple'' comes from the [[Middle English]] word ''purple'' which originates from the [[Latin]] ''purpura.'' This in turn is derived from the ([[Koine Greek]]: πορφύρα, ''porphura'') name of the [[dye]] manufactured in [[Classical antiquity]] from the mucus-secretion of the hypobranchial gland of a marine [[snail]] known as the ''[[Murex brandaris]]'' or the ''spiny dye-murex''. |
|||
The first recorded use of the word ''purple'' in [[English language|English]] was in the year AD [[975]].<ref>[[Oxford English Dictionary]], second edition</ref> |
|||
==Historical development of purple== |
|||
The color regarded as the standard for purple changed over the years, from ''Tyrian Purple'' in ancient times to ''Electric Purple'' today. |

|||
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 [[Haustellum brandaris|mollusk]] that, because of its incredible expense (many times more expensive than [[gold]]), in [[classical antiquity]] became a symbol of [[royalty]] because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple is also called '''imperial purple'''. |
|||
'''Tyrian purple''' may have been discovered as early as the time of the [[Minoan civilization]]. [[Alexander the Great]] (when giving imperial audiences as the [[List of kings of Macedon|emperor]] of the [[Macedon|Macedonian Empire]]), the emperors of the [[Seleucid Empire]], and the [[Ptolemaic dynasty|kings]] of [[Ptolemaic Egypt]] wore Tyrian purple. The imperial robes of [[Roman emperor]]s were Tyrian purple trimmed in metallic [[gold (color)|gold]] thread. The badge of office of a [[Roman Senate|Roman Senator]] was a stripe of Tyrian purple on their [[white]] [[toga]].<ref>[http://www.mmdtkw.org/VPurple.html Tyrian Purple in Ancient Rome:] </ref>Tyrian purple was continued in use by the emperors of the [[Byzantine Empire|Eastern Roman Empire]] until [[Fall of Constantinople|its final collapse]] in [[1453]]. |

This shade of ''purple'' is bluer than the ancient Tyrian purple. |
|||
In [[medieval]] [[Europe]], [[blue]] dyes were rare and expensive <ref> Varichon, Anne ''Colors:What They Mean and How to Make Them'' New York:2006 Abrams Page 161 </ref>, so only the most wealthy or the [[aristocracy]] could afford to wear them. (The [[working class]] wore mainly [[green]] and [[brown]].) Because of this (and also because Tyrian purple had gone out of use in western Europe after the collapse of the [[Western Roman Empire]] in AD [[476]]), Europeans' idea of purple shifted towards this more bluish purple known as '''royal purple''' because of its similarity to the [[royal blue]] worn by the aristocracy. This was the shade of purple worn by [[Monarch|king]]s in medieval Europe. |

<!--A picture of a jar of jelly would probably be better here than an info box: weblink created 16 June 2007--color in color box taken from that--> |
|||
In [[1923]], the [[Welch's]] company began manufacturing [[Concord grape]] jelly: [http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=198608]. Since for both [[children]] and the [[working class]] a common food was [[peanut butter and jelly sandwich]]es (and Concord grape jelly was and is the cheapest and easiest jelly to mass produce), many people began to think of the dark violet color of grape jelly as purple because that was the most likely way they would encounter the color purple. This shade of purple is known as '''generic purple'''. Sometimes it is called '''vulgar purple'''. |

Royal purple or generic purple is the common layman's idea of purple, but professional [[artist]]s, following [[Munsell color system]] (introduced in [[1905]] and widely accepted by [[1930]]), regard purple as being synonymous with the [[red-violet]] color shown at right, in order to clearly distinguish purple from [[Violet (color)|violet]] and thus have access to a larger palette of colors. This '''red-violet''' color, called '''artist's purple''' by artists, is the pigment color that would be on a pigment color [[color wheel]] between pigment [[Violet (color)#Pigment violet (web color dark violet)|violet]] and pigment (process) [[Magenta#Process magenta (pigment magenta) (1890s)|magenta]]. In the Munsell color system, this color at the maximum chroma of 12 is called ''Red-Purple''. |
|||
Artists pigments and colored [[pencil]]s labeled as ''purple'' are colored the ''red-violet'' color shown at right. |
|||
It seems appropriate that this color should be called "purple" by artists, since it is the closest of all the purples to the original Tyrian purple. |

Since using computers, it is possible to create a much brighter purple than with pigment, the equivalent color on a computer to the pigment color red-violet shown above would be '''electric purple''', i.e. the much brighter purple you can see reproduced on the screen of an [[electronics|electronic]] [[computer]]. This color is pure purple conceived as [[computer art]]ists conceive it, as the pure [[chroma]] on the [[computer screen]] [[color wheel]] halfway between electric [[Violet (color)|violet]] and electric [[magenta]]. Thus, it is the purest and brightest purple that it is possible to display on a computer screen. |

The pure essence of purple was approximated in pigment in the late [[1960]]s by mixing [[fluorescent]] [[magenta]] and fluorescent [[blue]] pigments together to make ''fluorescent purple'' to use in [[psychedelic]] [[black light]] [[painting]]s. This shade of purple was very popular among the [[hippie]]s and it was the favorite color of [[Jimi Hendrix]] and therefore it is called '''psychedelic purple'''. It is shaded somewhat more toward the magenta than electric purple and it is displayed in the color box at right. |

* The ''Purple Moon Dance Project'' is a [[dance]] group in San Francisco. <ref> [http://www.purplemoondance.org/ Purple Moon Dance Project website:]</ref> |
|||
====[[Heraldry]]==== |
|||
* ''porpora'' or ''[[purpure]]'' was not one of the usual [[tinctures]] in European [[heraldry]], being added at a late date to bring the number of tinctures plus metals to seven, so that they could be given planetary associations. The classic early example of purpure is in the [[coat of arms]] of the [[Kingdom of León]]: ''argent, a lion purpure'' as early as [[1245]]. |
|||
====[[History]]==== |
|||
*Purple has often symbolized [[Royal family|royalty]], dating back to [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] times, when clothing dyed with [[Tyrian purple]] was limited to the upper classes due to the rarity (and thus price) of the dye. The color, which was closer to a deep [[crimson]]/[[red-violet]] color (shown above) than to the modern idea of purple, was the favored color of many [[Monarch|kings and queens]]. |
|||
*Byzantine empresses gave birth in the Purple [[Chamber]] of the palace of the [[Byzantine Emperor]]s. Therefore, being named ''[[Porphyrogenitus]]'' ("born to the purple") marked a dynastic emperor as opposed to a general who won the throne by his effort. |
|||
*In [[China]], the Chinese name of the [[Forbidden City]] literally means "purple forbidden city" 紫禁城 with first character 紫 meaning purple(even though the [[Chinese Emperor]] himself wore [[yellow]], which was considered in China to be the imperial color). |
|||
====[[Literature]]==== |
|||
*[[Alice Walker]], author of ''[[The Color Purple]],'' said, "Womanist is to feminist as purple is to [[Lavender (color)|lavender]]." |
|||
*As a result of its association with royalty and luxury, the term ''purple'' is often used to describe pretentious or overly embellished literature. For example, a paragraph containing an excessive number of long and unusual words is called a purple passage (see [[Purple prose]]). |
|||
====[[Microbiology]]==== |
|||
*In [[April]] [[2007]] it was suggested that early [[archaea]] may have used [[retinal]], a purple pigment, instead of [[chlorophyll]], to extract [[energy]] from the [[sun]]. If so, large areas of the [[ocean]] and shoreline would have been colored purple; this is called the ''purple Earth'' theory. <ref> [http://www.livescience.com/environment/070410_purple_earth.html Early Earth Was Purple, Study Suggests:]</ref> |
|||
====[[Military science|Military]]==== |
|||
