About Lesson

The colour purple was historically seen as a symbol of royalty, power, and wealth due to its rarity and high cost of production. It was so exclusive that Queen Elizabeth I banned non-royals from wearing it. The creation of a synthetic purple dye in 1856 by chemist William Henry Perkin made the colour more accessible to everyone, shifting its elite status and ending its exclusivity.
