Here's an interesting fact about the color purple: did you know that in many ancient cultures, purple was a highly prized and rare color? This is because the dye used to create purple, known as Tyrian purple, was extracted from the secretions of a specific type of sea snail found only in the Mediterranean region. The process of extracting the dye was lengthy and labor-intensive, making it extremely expensive and exclusive. In ancient Greece and Rome, only royalty and high-ranking officials were allowed to wear garments dyed with Tyrian purple, making it a symbol of wealth and power. @farquest
