Party 'Till You're Purple


You don't have to be a royal to party like one! One of the hottest trending colors for any special event in 2010 and into 2011 is the color Purple. Maybe the universe was trying to tell us that Prince William and Kate Middleton would be engaged and tying the knot this year as we all flocked to the color Purple. Here's an interesting little quip on why the color Purple is associated with Royalty today:

"According to an ancient Roman legend, in about 1500 B.C., Hercules was walking his sheepdog on the beach one day. After biting into a mollusk, the dog’s mouth turned an unusual color. The mollusk, known as murex, was the first source of purple dye for fabrics—a pigment called Tyrian purple. The process by which the coloring agent was extracted, which required salt, heat, and water, was difficult and labor-intensive. In addition, each mollusk produced such a small quantity of dye that thousands were needed for a single garment. This is why purple was so expensive and came to be associated with royalty—generally the only people who could afford such extravagance."

At Elegant Beginnings, Inc., we wonder if Prince William and Kate Middleton might engage in the use of this Royal color or choose a more traditional Royal Blue. What do you think?
