Lets discuss purple!

Why purple you say?

Because it seems to be the only thing anyone on these discussion boards can discuss that is safe and non-threatening...

But wait... that probably isn't true either... Could it be possible that someone has had a really bad experience with purple and therefore has an agenda that the name should be banned from all areas a human eye could see it?

But then again Purple could be liked by others and they see nothing wrong with discussing it's merits or lack of...

Then of course we also may have people who really don't care whether purple is discussed or not, and will skip over it to find something they can identify with...

So what does purple mean to you?
I like it but, could live without it.

I probably should have looked into the archives to see if purple was already discussed, but I didn't want to dredge up old threads... okay the truth... I just didn't feel like it.

If you all like my analogy of a good discussion topic then please visit my blog! lol

I was violated by a purple crayon in the first grade.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Purple was the color of royalty in some places.

  The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye made from a mollusk that, because of its incredible expense, in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple is also called imperial purple or royal purple.

2. 10/19/08

  I don't think that is discriminating against Blue. Purple cannot be without blue. To acknowledge purple is to acknowledge blue.
3. 10/19/08
  
  Arcticulates
  
  Yes Morgantj that can be very true, but perhaps red wants to become part of the overall color scheme of things?
4. 10/19/08
  
  morgantj
  
  Likewise, to acknowledge purple is to acknowledge Red.
5. 10/19/08
  
  Arcticulates
  
  Yes but if you take red and blue and mix it together it makes purple, so it would seem that 2 are better then one.

  The book was better but I am still partial to the movie. True it does start out a bit slow but it is a really good movie. I also saw it on broadway and I thought that was a decent stage adaptation. Ok I am biased just ignore me.

  I had no idea it was on Broadway... we Alaskans can be so far behind on important stuff like this...

Purple used to be made from shellfish, is there a lesson here? I don't know.

  The mollusks died.
  The colour purple is forever tainted with their deaths that were undertaken just to provide vain rich people with robes that had a colour that was different from everyone else's robes.

  Think of all those poor mollusks slain for the sake of vanity of the idle rich.
  I hate the colour purple. It's never looked good on me and I suppose that's because I come from un-selfish peasant stock. I even inherited their shellfish allergy.

Purple--my favorite color.

Though I should mention that, back in the '60's (before my time), the best, most potent LSD was "Owsley Purple."

Also, Barack Obama and others have talked about a "purple America" as opposed to blue and red states.

And that's not even touching on the infamous "purple nerple" that some of us suffered in junior high....

I love purple. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about purple. I mean think about it, purple nurples would not be possible without purple. The "one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater", also would not have been possible. And these are just a few examples. Three cheers for purple!

Y'know, Harold had the whole crayon box to choose from, and he chose purple. It's "Harold and the Purple Crayon," not "Harold and the Green Yellow Crayon" or "Harold and the Yellow Green Crayon". (Both actual Crayola colours.)

Then again, Grimace is purple, and what is the point of that ridiculous guy? Ronald McDonald, I get. The Hamburglar, sure. But Grimace? Utterly pointless.

That's a point for purple, and a point against. And so, the tally thus far:-

PRO:

"Purple Rain"
Colour of royalty
Is both blue AND red
Tinky Winky
Barack Obama's Purple America (or is that a con?)
"One-Eyed, One-Horned, Flying Purple People-Eater"
thepurplestore.com
"Start Wearing Purple"
Grapes
Grape Ape
"Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple
"Harold and the Purple Crayon"

CON:

Pontlessbanter violated by a purple crayon (not Harold's, I hope)
Discriminates against blue and red
"The Colour Purple"
Dead molluscs
Barney the Dinosaur
Purple Nurples
Grimace

So far, Purple has a decided lead over... well, itself. Looks like it'll come down to the undecideds.

Purple Haze is a variety of marijuana but I wouldn't know anything about that.

@ Articulates

Erratum:

It should read "doloroso," meaning painful and sorrowful.

For me, purple color signifies deep depression, solemnity, mourning, and penance.

  Yes, Thank-you for sharing that, it is important!
  
  The way I view Dolorosa is;
  
  Life, Joy, Freedom, and Forgiveness

Sorry Articulates, I had something very witty to say but realised it had already been said (sort of). Sorry! But hey, purple's a lovely colour and is seriously misrepresented. I have a vague memory of a song called the Giant Purple People Eater which affirms my observation that a sizeable proportion of monsters in movies are ... erm ... "purplesque" in appearance.

Love and Peace

  Well the "One Eyed One Horned Giant Purple People Eater" is a great song... Better then Barney the Purple Dinosaur's song
  
  "I love you... You love me..."
  
  Oh! Great it's back in my head again.. I will end up humming the tune again today. ugh!
  
  hmmmm... I never put the two (Purple + Monster) together before, you may have something there with the purple monster theory!

Well Arcticulates, I think you deserve this one:

PURPLE PASSION
Rain, being purple is quite a shame
But being rain, can come back again
Now then Haze, being a kind of mist
Can often be Jimi-kissed
Dye, Tyrian, and its natural tinge
Has origins which make us twinge
Purple, glorious, royal is pure passion
Its a pity it went suddenly out of fashion.

Purple is my favorite color. I think it's because my Mom refused to let me wear a red sweater and a purple skirt to school. The traumas of childhood.

I have a one track mind - when I read "purple", all I could think about was the purple Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Li'l Riz bag I've been wanting for months! All I ever think about, it seems, is fashion.

Articulates, its safe to say (we shall see...) that I, more than any blogger here can relate to your plight.

I thought I could drag purple into the mainstream! Instead, I seem to be just purple in drag! All well. Better than pink.

I love this color. About ten years ago, I painted a purple painting for my older brother, Charley. I called it, "My Interpretation of Purple." I included some sparkles and had a cool design and varying shades of the color. I believe he hid it away and later donated it. What can I say? He has a kitchen full of rooster design. He never got the artistic flair. I should have painted a field or the woods because the whole abstract thing went over his creative appreciation. Now, I do know he is interested in Sci-Fi, so perhaps I could paint one about aliens and space ships.
