[ ] While the two colors look similar, from the point of view of optics there are important differences. Violet is a – it occupies its own place at the end of the first identified by in 1672, and it has its own wavelength (approximately 380–420 nm) – whereas purple is a combination of two spectral colors, red and blue.
There is no such thing as the 'wavelength of purple light'; it only exists as a combination. Monochromatic violet light cannot be produced by the, the method used to create colors on a television screen or computer display. Byzantine Emperor clad in Tyrian purple, 6th-century mosaic at Purple first appeared in prehistoric art during the Neolithic era.
The artists of cave and other sites in France used sticks of and powder to draw and paint animals and the outlines of their own hands on the walls of their caves. These works have been dated to between 16,000 and 25,000 BC. As early as the 15th century BC the citizens of and, two cities on the coast of Ancient, (present day Lebanon), were producing purple dye from a sea snail called the. Clothing colored with the Tyrian dye was mentioned in both the of and the of. The deep, rich purple dye made from this snail became known as Tyrian purple. The process of making the dye was long, difficult and expensive.
Thousands of the tiny snails had to be found, their shells cracked, the snail removed. Mountains of empty shells have been found at the ancient sites of Sidon and Tyre.
The snails were left to soak, then a tiny gland was removed and the juice extracted and put in a basin, which was placed in the sunlight. There a remarkable transformation took place.
In the sunlight the juice turned white, then yellow-green, then green, then violet, then a red which turned darker and darker. The process had to be stopped at exactly the right time to obtain the desired color, which could range from a bright crimson to a dark purple, the color of dried blood. Then either wool, linen or silk would be dyed. The exact hue varied between crimson and violet, but it was always rich, bright and lasting. Tyrian purple became the color of kings, nobles, priests and magistrates all around the Mediterranean. It was mentioned in the Old Testament; In the, God instructs to have the Israelites bring him an offering including cloth 'of blue, and purple, and scarlet.' , to be used in the curtains of the and the garments of priests.
The term used for purple in the 4th-century version of the Bible passage is purpura or Tyrian purple. In the of, the belt of is purple, and the tails of the horses of Trojan warriors are dipped in purple.
In the, the blankets on the wedding bed of are purple. In the poems of (6th century BC) she celebrates the skill of the dyers of the Greek kingdom of who made purple footwear, and in the play of (525–456 BC), Queen welcomes back her husband by decorating the palace with purple carpets. In 950 BC, was reported to have brought artisans from Tyre to provide purple fabrics to decorate the. (when giving imperial audiences as the of the ), the basileus of the, and the all wore Tyrian purple. The Roman custom of wearing purple may have come from the; an Etruscan tomb painting from the 4th century BC shows a nobleman wearing a deep purple and embroidered toga. In Ancient Rome, the Toga praetexta was an ordinary white toga with a broad purple stripe on its border.
It was worn by freeborn Roman boys who had not yet come of age,, certain categories of priests, and a few other categories of citizens. The Toga picta was solid purple, embroidered with gold. During the, it was worn by generals in their, and by the when he rode in the chariot of the gods into the circus at the. During the Empire, the toga picta was worn by magistrates giving public games, and by the, as well as by the emperor on special occasions.
During the Roman Republic, when a triumph was held, the general being honored wore an entirely purple toga bordered in gold, and Roman Senators wore a toga with a purple stripe. However, during the, purple was more and more associated exclusively with the emperors and their officers. Suetonius claims that the early emperor had the murdered for the splendour of his purple cloak, and that forbade the use of certain purple dyes. In the late empire the sale of purple cloth became a state monopoly protected by the death penalty. Jesus, in the hours leading up to his crucifixion, was dressed in purple (πορφύρα: porphura) by the Roman garrison to mock his claim to be 'King of the Jews'. The actual color of Tyrian purple seems to have varied from a reddish to a bluish purple. According to the Roman writer, (1st century BC), the murex coming from northern waters, probably, produced a more bluish color than those of the south, probably.
The most valued shades were said to be those closer to the color of dried blood, as seen in the mosaics of the robes of the in. The chemical composition of the dye from the murex is close to that of the dye from, and indigo was sometimes used to make a counterfeit Tyrian purple, a crime which was severely punished. What seems to have mattered about Tyrian purple was not its color, but its luster, richness, its resistance to weather and light, and its high price. In modern times, Tyrian purple has been recreated, at great expense. When the German chemist, Paul Friedander, tried to recreate Tyrian purple in 2008, he needed twelve thousand mollusks to create 1.4 ounces of dye, enough to color a handkerchief. In the year 2000, a gram of Tyrian purple made from ten thousand mollusks according to the original formula, cost two thousand euros.
Cloth dyed with Tyrian purple. The color could vary from crimson to deep purple, depending upon the type of sea-snail and how it was made. Purple in the Byzantine Empire and Carolingian Europe Through the early Christian era, the rulers of the continued the use of purple as the imperial color, for diplomatic gifts, and even for imperial documents and the pages of the Bible. Were written in gold lettering on that was colored Tyrian purple.
Empresses gave birth in the Purple Chamber, and the emperors born there were known as 'born to the purple,' to separate them from emperors who won or seized the title through political intrigue or military force. Bishops of the Byzantine church wore white robes with stripes of purple, while government officials wore squares of purple fabric to show their rank.
In western Europe, the Emperor was crowned in 800 wearing a mantle of Tyrian purple, and was buried in 814 in a shroud of the same color, which still exists (see below). However, after the fall of to the in 1453, the color lost its imperial status. The great dye works of Constantinople were destroyed, and gradually, made with dye from the insect, became the royal color in Europe.
A fragment of the shroud in which the Emperor was buried in 814. It was made of gold and Tyrian purple from Constantinople. The Middle Ages and Renaissance In 1464, decreed that cardinals should no longer wear Tyrian purple, and instead wear scarlet, from and alum, since the dye from Byzantium was no longer available. Bishops and archbishops, of a lower status than cardinals, were assigned the color purple, but not the rich Tyrian purple. They wore cloth dyed first with the less expensive blue, then overlaid with red made from dye. While purple was worn less frequently by Medieval and kings and princes, it was worn by the professors of many of Europe's new universities. Their robes were modeled after those of the clergy, and they often wore square violet or purple caps and robes, or black robes with purple trim.
Purple robes were particularly worn by students of divinity. Purple and violet also played an important part in the religious paintings of the Renaissance. Angels and the were often portrayed wearing purple or violet robes. A purple-clad angel from the Resurrection of Christ by Raphael (1483–1520) 18th and 19th centuries In the 18th century, purple was still worn on occasion by and other rulers, by bishops and, in lighter shades, by members of the aristocracy, but rarely by ordinary people, because of its high cost.
But in the 19th century, that changed. In 1856, an eighteen-year-old British chemistry student named was trying to make a synthetic. His experiments produced instead the first synthetic, a purple shade called, shortened simply to. It took its name from the mallow flower, which is the same color. The new color quickly became fashionable, particularly after wore a silk gown dyed with mauveine to the Royal Exhibition of 1862. Prior to Perkin's discovery, mauve was a color which only the aristocracy and rich could afford to wear.
Perkin developed an industrial process, built a factory, and produced the dye by the ton, so almost anyone could wear mauve. It was the first of a series of modern industrial dyes which completely transformed both the chemical industry and fashion. Purple was popular with the painters in Britain, including, who loved bright colors and romantic scenes. Founded in 1830. 20th and 21st centuries At the turn of the century, purple was a favorite color of the Austrian painter, who flooded his pictures with sensual purples and violets. In the 20th century, purple retained its historic connection with royalty; (1896–1952), wore purple in his official portrait, and it was prominent in every feature of the coronation of in 1953, from the invitations to the stage design inside.
But at the same time, it was becoming associated with social change; with the movement for the right to vote for women in the early decades of the century, with in the 1970s, and with the of the 1960s. In the early 20th century, purple, green, and white were the colors of the movement, which fought to win the right to vote for women, finally succeeding with the to the U.S. Constitution in 1920. Later, in the 1970s, in a tribute to the Suffragettes, it became the color of the. In the concentration camps of, prisoners who were members of non-conformist religious groups, such as the, were required to wear a.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, it was also associated with,, and musicians like with his 1967 song ', or the English band of which formed in 1968. Later, in the 1980s, it was featured in the song and album (1984) by the American musician. The was a protest against that took place in, South Africa on 2 September 1989, in which a police with purple dye sprayed thousands of demonstrators. This led to the slogan The Purple Shall Govern. The violet or purple necktie became very popular at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, particularly among political and business leaders. It combined the assertiveness and confidence of a red necktie with the sense of peace and cooperation of a blue necktie, and it went well with the blue business suit worn by most national and corporate leaders. Symbol of the movement in the United States (1970s).
The purple color was chosen as a tribute to the Suffragette movement a half-century earlier. China In ancient China, purple was obtained not through the Mediterranean mollusc, but. The dye obtained did not easily adhere to fabrics, making purple fabrics expensive.
Purple became a fashionable colour in the state of Qi (齊) because its ruler developed a preference for it. As a result, the price of a purple spoke of fabric was in excess of five times that of a plain spoke. His minister, Guan Zhong (管仲) eventually convinced him to relinquish this preference. Purple was regarded as a secondary colour in ancient China.
In classical times, secondary colours were not as highly prized as the five primary colours of the Chinese spectrum, and purple was used to allude to impropriety, compared to crimson, which was deemed a primary colour and thus symbolized legitimacy. Nevertheless, by the 6th Century, purple was ranked above crimson. Several changes to the ranks of colours occurred after that time.
In science and nature The optics of purple Purple, unlike violet, is not one of the colors of the visible spectrum. It was not one of the colors of the rainbow identified by Isaac Newton, and it does not have its own wavelength of light. For this reason, it is called a non-spectral color. It exists in culture and art, but not, in the same way that violet does, in optics.
It is simply a combination, in various proportions, of two primary colors, red and blue. In, a 'purple' is defined as any between and red (excluding violet and red themselves). The violet and indigo are not purples according to color theory, but they are purples according to common English usage since they are between red and blue. In the traditional color wheel long used by painters, purple is usually placed between crimson and violet. In a slightly different variation, on the, it is placed between magenta and violet. This shade is sometimes called electric purple (See ). In the, named for the colors red, green, and blue, used to create all the colors on a computer screen or television, the range of purples is created by mixing red and blue light of different intensities on a black screen.
The standard color purple is created by red and blue light of equal intensity, at a brightness that is halfway between full power and darkness. In color printing, purple is sometimes represented by the color, or sometimes by mixing magenta with red or blue. It can also be created by mixing just red and blue alone, but in that case the purple is less bright, with lower saturation or intensity. A less bright purple can also be created with light or paint by adding a certain quantity of the third primary color (green for light or yellow for pigment). On a, the straight line connecting the extreme spectral colors (red and violet) is known as the (or 'purple boundary'); it represents one limit of human. The color magenta used in the printing process is near the center of the line of purples, but most people associate the term 'purple' with a somewhat bluer tone, such as is displayed by the color 'electric purple' (a color also directly on the line of purples), shown below.
Some common confusion exists concerning the 'purple' and 'violet'. Purple is a mixture of red and blue light, whereas violet is a. On the, violet is on the curved edge in the lower left, while purples are on the straight line connecting the extreme colors red and violet; this line is known as the, or the purple line.

Depending on the different minerals added to the dye, it produced a blue, red, black or, with the addition of, a purple color, It made a good color, but, like earlier dyes, it did not resist sunlight or washing. In the 18th century, chemists in England, France and Germany began to create the first synthetic dyes. Two synthetic purple dyes were invented at about the same time.
Cudbear is a extracted from that can be used to dye and, without the use of. Cudbear was developed by Dr Cuthbert Gordon of: production began in 1758, The lichen is first boiled in a solution of. The mixture is then cooled and is added and the mixture is kept damp for 3–4 weeks. Then the lichen is dried and ground to powder.
The manufacture details were carefully protected, with a ten-feet high wall being built around the manufacturing facility, and staff consisting of Highlanders sworn to secrecy. French purple was developed in France at about the same time. The lichen is extracted by urine or ammonia. Then the extract is acidified, the dissolved dye precipitates and is washed. Then it is dissolved in ammonia again, the solution is heated in air until it becomes purple, then it is precipitated with; the resulting dye was more solid and stable than other purples.
Cobalt violet is a synthetic pigment that was invented in the second half of the 19th century, and is made by a similar process as, and. It is the violet pigment most commonly used today by artists., also known as purple and Perkin's, was the first synthetic, discovered in 1856. Its chemical name is 3-amino-2,±9-dimethyl-5-phenyl-7-(p-tolylamino)phenazinium acetate. Was another synthetic dye made shortly after mauveine. It produced a brilliant fuchsia color. In the 1950s, a new family of purple and violet synthetic organic pigments called came onto the market. It had originally been discovered in 1896, but were not synthetized until 1936, and not manufactured until the 1950s.
The colors in the group range from deep red to bluish purple in color, and have the molecular formula C 20H 12N 2O 2.

Why distant mountains look blue or purple The greater the distance from the eye to mountains, the lighter and more blue they appear. This effect, long recognized by and other painters, is called or atmospheric perspective. The more distant the mountains are, the less contrast the eye sees between the mountains and the sky.
The bluish color is caused by an optical effect called. The sunlit sky is blue because scatters short- light more than longer wavelengths.
Since blue light is at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum, it is more strongly scattered in the atmosphere than long wavelength red light. The result is that the human eye perceives blue when looking toward parts of the sky other than the sun. At sunrise and sunset, the light is passing through the atmosphere at a lower angle, and traveling a greater distance through a larger volume of air. Much of the green and blue is scattered away, and more red light comes to the eye, creating the colors of the sunrise and sunset and making the mountains look purple. Queen in 2010.
