Was purple really Prince's favourite colour? | |

Always thought it was simply due to his being a sports fan living in Minnesota.

Yeah, I also suspect the purple was a nod to Hendrix, but, come on, 99% of the people in Minnesota are in love with purple and walking around wearing purple because of the football team, a.k.a., The Purple People Eaters. | |

No. It just happened to be the color choice for 1999's artwork, followed by him writing the song Purple Rain, and the fact that that was his commercial peak. Look at the clothes, sets and artwork for the various tours/albums that followed. Parade - no purple. SOTT - no purple. Lovesexy - no purple. Etc. If TGE were his biggest commercial album, people would think his favorite color was gold. His association with purple by the media and casual fans is played out IMO.
