Purple used to be the most dramatic colour in history. It was rare, expensive, and completely off‑limits unless you were royal. All because of a tiny sea snail and a very smelly dye. It was only allowed for us plebs after an eighteen year old chemist accidentally changed everything with a failed malaria experiment and a puddle of coal tar. Which is why the Victorian era was paved in shades of purple! If you are wearing purple today, you are living like an emperor!! #creatorsearchinsights #histor
