Prince & The Colour Purple

Hey P-people,

Okay, this is probably something I 'should' know but to be honest I don't have a clue. Can somebody explain to me Prince's fascination & connection to the colour Purple?

...he likes to wear the colour purple and of course has made numerous references to purple in his songs - but I gotta be honest and ask 'why'?

My only thought was that purple was once known as a regal colour only worn by royalty - so maybe he thought purple tied in with his name?? That was just a guess...

Please help!

Cheers,

Simon

Purple also means power...That is why it is my favorite color also (I just love the whole concept of power)..I don't blame Prince for liking the color Purple, It isn't a male or female's color like they say pink is a girl's color, A guy can like Purple if he wants..
But i could be wrong..Who knows why he likes the color purple?
