Interesting question. Has do to with the dyeing of silk and other cloths. The stuff you need to dye cloth or silk a nice purple is rare, compared to reds and blues and greens and yellows, and it's hard to dye purple well, because too much and you get black and too little and you get blueish red...so well done purple silk was rare and hard to make, therefore expensive, therefore something only rich (e.g., ROYAL) people could afford. I believe that robes dyed purple were first popularized by those wandering seafarers, the Phoenecians. One of the things you got the chemicals to dye stuff purple from was the mucus from a smelly, icky sea slug, this was another reason it was so rare.. "Hey Mom, I'm goin' out to get some snot from a giant slug, I'll be back by dinner time so we can dye Dad's lodge robe..."
