Purple (color) : ウィキペディア英語版
Purple

Purple is defined as a deep, rich shade between crimson and violet,〔''Shorter Oxford English Dictionary'', 5th Edition, 2003.〕 or, more broadly, as a range of hues of color between blue and red,〔Mish, Frederic C., Editor in Chief ''Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary'' Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.A.:1984--Merriam-Webster Page 957〕 or as a dark color that is a blend of red and blue. 〔''Webster's New World Dictionary of American English'' (Third College Edition) defines it as: "A dark color that is a blend of red and blue." The ''Random House College Dictionary'' defines it as "any color intermediate between red and blue."〕 According to surveys In Europe and the U.S., purple is the color most often associated with royalty, magic, mystery and piety.〔Eva Heller, ''Psychologie de la couleur: effets et symboliques''〕 When combined with pink, it is associated with eroticism, femininity and seduction.〔Heller, Eva: ''Psychologie de la couleur – effets et symboliques'', pp. 179-184〕
Purple was the color worn by Roman magistrates; it became the imperial color worn by the rulers of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Similarly in Japan, the color is traditionally associated with the Emperor and aristocracy.
Purple and violet are similar, though purple is closer to red. In optics, there is an important difference; purple is a composite color made by combining red and blue, while violet is a spectral color, with its own wavelength on the visible spectrum of light.
== Etymology and definitions ==
The word 'purple' comes from the Old English word ''purpul'' which derives from the Latin ''purpura'', in turn from the Greek (''porphura''),〔(πορφύρα ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 name of the Tyrian purple dye manufactured in classical antiquity from a mucus secreted by the spiny dye-murex snail.〔(purple ), Oxford Dictionaries〕
The first recorded use of the word 'purple' in the English language was in the year 975 AD.〔Oxford English Dictionary, second edition〕 In heraldry, the word purpure is used for purple.
