Fun Fact Friday - Purple
from Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages · host Kyle Wood
For this fun fact Friday mini episode, I discuss the color purple. Purple has long been associated with royalty and that is largely because purple dyes have been hard to come by. The time consuming, labor and resource intensive process of producing purple dyes made them very expensive and thus only people of wealth and power could afford such finery.
