I'm going to take a while guess that he was imitating Jimi Hendrix a lot in his earlier career, and Purple Rain was close enough to 'Purple Haze' in naming. In the 80's you sold an entire package to the audience (image, look, theme, story, etc.), and Prince did just that. Prior to 1999/Purple Rain there's no indication that purple was his favorite color or even an important color.

And he seemed to use a different color palette with subsequent albums, but he got famous off of Purple Rain.

I would imagine he's just as Peach & Black, or Blue, as purple depending on his mood.

Either way the colors are really really gay when worn on a man in the outfits that he wears, so they might as well be bright pink, which of corse he's been known to wear.


Best answer so far thank you for that biggrin

Yes. Thank you Imago Void. wink

...here is my take on why....example PURPLE-RAIN...why not blue-rain or teal-rain??....

The rest of your answer is nonsense, so I'm not reprinting it. No one thinks that much into blue and red = purple. But the example of "Blue Rain" or whatever is stupid. Obviously if he was into Maroon or Burgandy, the title of the film, and it's theme song, would have been different. Many songs would have been different, that referenced the color purple. Gheezus people, why is this hard?

The dude's name is fucking PRINCE. Prince is a royal title. Purple was worn by the royals in times past because it was an expensive dye to create and only the rich could afford it, so it was always been associated as a royal color.

Hell, if his name wasn't Prince, he would have changed references like, or not even made references like, "If anybody asks you, you belong to Scott!", or "My name is Dillion, and I am funky".

Common sense.

You're a false teacher and only appearing as an angel of light. The Bible does not say people will sweat blood when Christ returns. You're lying on God all for the sake of your fake love affair with Prince.

Maybe he's a big fan of the Prince of Crime, THE JOKER biggrin

I discovered Prince through his "Batdance" Music Video around '89, which was shown before Childrens Programming in the early morning.

As a six year old i was very impressed of that singing Live-Action Joker and disappointed after i saw Nicholson in the role in cinema.

Prince would be my favourite Joker actor to this day.

And by the way, Ledger's version of the Joker is so overrated, and Dark Knight sucked.
