You know how we see purple everywhere these days – on clothes, in art, even as a digital color? Well, try to imagine a time, way back in ancient civilizations, when the color purple was so unbelievably rare and precious that it was quite literally worth more than its weight in gold. Seriously!</p> <p>We&rsquo;re talking about &lsquo;Tyrian Purple&rsquo; here, a dye that basically screamed &lsquo;I am incredibly rich and important!&rsquo; because only royalty and the highest-ranking officials could afford it. And the reason for its insane value? It wasn&rsquo;t because someone just decided it should be expensive; it was all about how it was made.</p>
