What is the meaning of the color royal purple?

Royal purple color was first called Tyrian purple. The expensive dye came from Tyre, a trading city in modern-day Lebanon. Tyrian purple was made by extracting liquid from a specific type of snail and then processing it. Thousands of snails were needed for one ounce of pigment. It’s no surprise, then, that royal purple was so costly that only nobility had access to it.

The color royal purple is a stunning balance of red and blue. Its history — from emperors to throne rooms — evokes the glamorous connotation it still carries today.
