Purple

Lately my favourite colour is purple. Purple clothes catch my attention on the racks, my new mysore mat has purple stripes, my new purse has a patterned purple lining, I'm wearing my favourite purple t-shirt, my toenails are purple, my chacos are purple. Purple. You know when you say a word too many times it loses it's meaning? Pur-ple. What a strange looking word. My birthstone is amethyst - it's purple (oops! my birthstone is actually sapphire), my favourite (one of) flowers is lavender, what a lovely shade of purple.

What does google have to say about purple? Following the first link...

"Purple is the color of good judgment. It is the color of people seeking spiritual fulfillment. It is said if you surround yourself with purple you will have peace of mind. Purple is a good color to use in meditation.

Purple has been used to symbolize magic and mystery, as well as royalty. Being the combination of red and blue, the warmest and coolest colors, purple is believed to be the ideal color."

I like grey-purples, tan-purples, dusty-purples, indigo-purples, violet-purples, lavender-purples...

What's your favourite colour?
