Purple makes since for a number of reasons.

1) As has already been stated, Purple is understood to be a color connected to

royalty and power, traditionally worn by leaders of powerful empires.

Due to this it was one of the rare colors that was believed to be appropriate

to be worn by both men and women.

2) Red and Blue represent female and male energy in some cultures,

the mixture of the two (purple) is supposed to represent the power

to create, or the act of creation itself. Creation is a power of god,

purple then being the color of the god which creates.

3) It is also the color which represents new beginnings (a deeper purple) and life.

4) Christian symbolism also has it marked as a color of

sorrow and mourning (Purple Rain anyone?)

5) Purple is also said to represent wisdom and spirituality,

associated with a close relationship to God.

6) Purple is also associated with deep passion, romance, and love.

7) Purple is also kind of rare in nature, which makes purple feel exotic and well…rare, lol

1) Prince has a royal name

2) Prince is believed to represent a mixture of what is fem and what is masculine

2 & 3) Prince creates; people around Prince have reported that he believes he is a god…which

is true in some ways

3 & 5) Prince is, and always has been, pretty darn religious

6) Prince gives off a passionate/sexual energy

7 Prince is a rare occurrence in nature in his own right

A cool thing is that if you stare at purple for about 30 seconds to a minute and then stare at white (paper works best) you should see Gold. Gold is also a color Prince really seems to like.

I totally agree with this, plus I saw a video and he just plain out stated that Red and blue makes purple. It has something to do with the sky being blue and some red coming into it, someway.

I'll shock you with my lips.

I love purple anyway. It was because of Prince that I found purple to be one of my favorite colors (save for red and black). lol

Purple is the colour of Royalty and spirituality.

And purple is a mix of red and blue,

Red = love,

Blue = melancholia
