Purple can be seen in many beautiful flowers like lilacs, roses, coneflowers, dwarf iris, salvia, delphinians, pansies and lavender. Purple can also be seen in many of the delicious foods we eat, such as blueberries, dried plums, purple cabbage, eggplant, purple grapes and wine.
The color purple is a color trend for 2017.
In history, the color purple has been associated with royalty, power and wealth for centuries. Purple’s elite status stems from the rarity and cost of the dye originally used to produce it.
Purple is seen everywhere in nature. In the purple sky, in flowers, in blooming trees, in fish, in birds and in butterflies, purple adds to the beauty of the landscape.
The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to those wounded or killed while serving with the U.S. military. Purple is used in art, science, symbolism and application.
