Psychology

Mid violet is the colour of imagination: it unsettles easy categorisation, which is precisely its appeal.

🏛️

History

The original purple dye — Tyrian purple — was extracted from sea snails and required thousands of molluscs for a single garment, making it the most expensive colour in the ancient world.
