Purple has a long history of association with royalty, dating back to ancient times when it was highly valued and mostly used by the upper class. The Phoenicians obtained their famous "Tyrian purple" from a type of sea snail called Bolinus brandaris. Due to its rarity, the dye was as valuable as gold and required a complicated process to extract. It took about 250,000 snails to produce one ounce of dye, but the end result was a vibrant and durable purple shade.
