Purple refers to a variety of colors with a hue between red and blue.

Throughout history, it has long been connected to royalty, as the rarity and costs of purple dyes prohibited its use among commoners. It's also associated with magic, mystery, spirituality, and piety. Purple was popular with 1960s psychedelia too.
