Palatinate (colour)
Palatinate or 'palatinate purple' is a "light people or lavender" colour associated with Durham University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=palatinate purple )〕 It is used in the academic dress of Durham University〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Durham University Calendar )〕 and in the faculties of medicine and law at Newcastle University〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Academic Dress: Undergraduate Degrees )〕 (being a former college of Durham University). A separate colour, 'palatinate blue', is derived from the Coat of Arms of the County of Durham. The name 'Palatinate' in both instances alludes to the historic status of Durham as a County Palatine. The shade of purple are used for Durham (and Newcastle) academic hoods is different from that used for Durham University's corporate branding.
== Origin ==
It is likely that the choice of purple as the University's colour relates to the key role played by the Bishop of Durham in the foundation of the University (purple being an episcopal colour), as well as to the unique historical status of Bishops of Durham as Palatine Earls. The following story, recounted in Whiting's history of the University of Durham, purports to explain precisely how this shade of purple came to be adopted as the University colour. (Whiting himself had heard it from a Canon Whitley, who had been Reader in Natural Philosophy during the early years of the University's existence (1833–55).)
''"When the colour of the MA hood was discussed by Senate, he () had proposed black and amber, but was outvoted on the grounds that people would call it 'Durham Mustard', a reference to the mustard factory then in existence in the city, and possibly to the popular saying that Durham was famous for 'old maids and mustard'. Mr Telfair, university tailor, afterwards produced a piece of a purple coat which had been worn by Bishop Van Mildert, and this colour was adopted for the MA hood."''〔''The University of Durham 1832-1932'' by C. E. Whiting, 1932, p.141.〕
In the mid-19th century, the University tailor referred to the colour used in the hoods as Palatinate Blue, despite it being "really a sort of purple".
