      the color blue as well as purple was a color that previously had no name, they were named as wine, incredible as it may seem, the night skies or the seas were called with phrases like: tonight we can witness the tones Fruits of a Harvest in the Milky Way

   Dark. Juicy. Seductive. Simultaneously cold enough to suggest danger, but warm enough to draw you in.
   
   Colour is interesting, as there's no guarantee someone sees colour the same way as you do. But that was my poetic attempt!

   A combination of the colors red and blue. Also a former symbol for royalty due to the price to make the color before the discovery of being able to make the color from combining the two others.

   A colour between red and violet, that is associated with Old English royalty, as well as in christian priests. It was originally sourced from a snail, but I can't remember the name. It is common in beetroot, and seen in eggplant.

    Interesting idea...I know a blind person who detests descriptions for things which use analogies and so on. He always wants emotional experience of something visual, not an attempted word transcript of a colour, for example, which means nothing to him and leaves him cold.
    
    So my stab at purple for someone who has no idea what purple is:
    
    I'm enveloped in darkness yet warmth. My mind spins off to infinite possibilities.

    The shade of the sky just before nightfall, before darkness overwhelms; it is an empowering, heavy color, enveloping from all sides, the color of the darkest parts of the ocean and the color of a queen’s tears. It’s the shade of loneliness, of flowering irises, and it’s the kind of color that’s there whether or not you want it to be. It’s the hue of bravery; of valor; and of strength.
