purple..purple...purple.

Is purple your favorite color? Well me, it is! or should I say one of my favorites along with carnation pink, and tiffany blue. So, to justify my love for the color, I did some research about it and here are the few things i've learned about P-U-R-P-L-E.

Purple has been traditionally associated with royalty in many cultures. Purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank.
Purple was the favorite color of Egypt's Cleopatra..{meron pala kaming something in common, cool..}
Purple  is the distinctive color for Divinity. It is also worn by high academic officials (University President, Head of Faculty, Rector, etc.) regardless of the field in which they graduated.
Purple is the color of mourning for widows in Thailand.
The Purple Heart is a U.S. Military decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle. 
A purple room can boost a child's imagination or an artist's creativity. Too much purple, like blue, could result in moodiness.
and lastly....the counterpart....Porphyrophobia is fear of the color purple.
