For Real! In The Bible it says that the people put a Purple Robe on Jesus as he was led to the Crucifixion. Why? Because he was known as "King" of The Jews. King associated with Royalty associated with Purple. King = Royalty = Purple. Beautiful  | |

I always thought Purple was the perfect blend of masculine and feminine qualities. But I'm sure Prince has his own reason for identifing with that unique color!  [Edited 6/17/07 2:57am] | |

Q:"were purple and gold your colours in the eighties simply because they represented royalty or did they have a deeper meaning?"

of maybe he just likes the color. Purple is the colour of royalty, but it's also a colour of mourning. Could there be a double meaning for his palette choice? Chew on that. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

[Edited 6/17/07 2:57am] There's a valid theory. Prince has always gone out of his way to make gender lines blend and break. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Chew on that. where is it the color of mourning? i never heard of that. Purple and black were traditonally associated with death, mourning, and loss. It's largely a Victorian thing, but it carries on in literature and artwork. Interesting because, as has already been mentioned, purple is also associated with royalty. Wearing purple as a sign of sadness has fallen to the wayside though, and black is doing the same too. When's the last time you saw a grieving widow don black clothing for the traditional 2 year period? [Edited 6/17/07 16:47pm] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

[Edited 6/17/07 16:47pm] i think now, a respectful mourning time is like 6 months. i heard that somewhere, so don't quote me on that. in Islam, white is a color of mourning. which is funny, b/c in Christianity white represents innocence, purity, etc. "So shall it be written, so shall it be sung..." | |
