Quote from: Béneditsch Ardpresteir on Yesterday at 10:15:12 PMHistorical Association with "Stain" or Dishonor
Sign of Improper Usage: For a long time, purple was shunned because it was sometimes thought to represent dishonor on the part of the bearer.
"Stain" Tincture: In some, though not all, heraldic traditions, purple was considered a "stain" or a non-standard color (like murrey or sanguine), rather than a proper, honorable tincture.
Practical Difficulties in the Middle Ages
Fading and Confusion: Historically, the dyes used for purple were difficult to produce and often faded significantly. When a purple charge faded on a shield, it could be mistaken for other colors, particularly blue (azure) or black (sable), which violated the principle of clear, instant identification in battle.
Original Hue Confusion: Early, dark, reddish-purple dyes often appeared closer to brown or dark red, leading to inconsistencies in how the color was perceived or represented.
However, Purple generally symbolizes royalty, sovereignty, or justice, this same meaning is why it was rarely used by anyone below the rank of a monarch.
