   @bleedingphoenix @Griffith @Vril_Oreilly @rher @BroDrillard Tyrian purple:
   "Purple for dyes fetched its weight in silver at Colophon in Asia Minor. The expense meant that purple-dyed textiles became status symbols, whose use was restricted by sumptuary laws. The most senior Roman magistrates wore a toga praetexta, a white toga edged in Tyrian purple. The even more sumptuous toga picta, solid Tyrian purple with gold thread edging, was worn by generals celebrating a Roman triumph.
   By the fourth century AD, sumptuary laws in Rome had been tightened so much that only the Roman emperor was permitted to wear Tyrian purple."

     @Vril_Oreilly @Griffith @rher @BroDrillard I think that is because purple, being unnatural, was a very rare pigment. if you could afford a violet robe you were clearly an important person.

     @BroDrillard @Griffith @Vril_Oreilly @rher does that make the color purple evil? no, but light does have an effect on brain chemistry. we already know this given warm and flourescent lighting and the production of melatonin. so what does purple do to the brain, or rather what does it do to medication in the brain?
     scalar proposed a connection between the mysterious phenomena (the purple lights are "an accident" according to officials) and the covid-19 vaccines, which made veins glow purple under UV light. the people taking vaccines and boosters are mostly urbanites who will be still consuming the media hollywood produces, which is now embracing purple and it's variants. it's not impossible that this is deliberate to evoke a change in their brain chemistry.

     @rher @BroDrillard @Griffith @Vril_Oreilly Color Out of Space used purple because, according to their reasoning, purple is a non-spectral color. it fits lovecraftian entities because it doesn't usually appear in nature.

     @rher @Griffith @Vril_Oreilly @BroDrillard that just made me think of something. that stupid "bisexual lighting" in so many movies is red and blue, hues of purple. filing that away for reference.
