Purple mixes the calm of blue with the energy of red. It's rare in nature, which made it special throughout history. Purple feels creative, mysterious, and a little bit magical.
Purple dye came from sea snails and took thousands of them to make one gram. Only emperors and kings could wear it. The phrase 'born to the purple' meant royalty. When synthetic dye was invented, everyone could finally wear purple.
Purple sparks imagination and creativity. It can feel spiritual or luxurious depending on the shade. Light purple is romantic and gentle. Dark purple feels rich and wise. Purple appeals to people who want to be different.
Luxury brands use purple to feel premium. Beauty products love purple because it seems creative. Cadbury made purple mean chocolate. Twitch chose purple to stand out from other platforms.
Purple became the color of streaming and gaming. Roku, Twitch, and Yahoo all use it. Purple hair dye got popular as a way to express yourself. Brands pick purple when they want to seem innovative but not corporate.
