hello there! Wow what an exciting investigation. If you know how I can buy the same, let me know!!!

I am trying to mimick proverbs 31 of the Bible. Of course, its either buying the dye or trying to get it myself from a bunch of shells. As a city woman, I would prefer the less adventerous route!

thanks,

DORINA

Hey, glad you all enjoyed this piece. Stay tuned, I’ll be writing about pirate trafficking of the colour red sometime next week…

This was so interesting! Purple is my favorite color so I was just fascinated in its history. I’m forwarding this to all of my artist friends.

Definitely the colour with the sexiest back story (Hercules + Nymph). Interesting to know if any other colours got invented based on emotional blackmail.

Hi Holly! Jon sent me the link to your article…nicely done- what a great escape from my cube on a Thursday morning. I’m going to send your article to my boyfriend’s mom, she’s mad for purple.
Congrats!
