A purple room can boost child's imagination or an artist's creativity.Too much of purple can cause moodiness

The actual color of Tyrian purple, the original color purple from which the name purple is derived, is the color of a dye made from a mollusc that in classical antiquity became a symbol of royalty because only the very wealthy could afford it. Therefore, Tyrian purple was also called imperial purple.

The Imperial robes of Roman Emperor were Tyrian Purple trimmed in metallic gold thread.
