One-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater.
Lila gehört einfach dazu, um viel mehr Leben ins Spiel zu bekommen. Die Welt ist un-Lila genug.
(Translation: Purple have to be there, cause there is actually a domination of many other colors.)

Purple is a warm color, without being too sharp. When you see someone playing with purple you don’t get the aggressive feel of Green, Yellow or Red, the blinding of Orange or the non-feeling of White and Black. You think the Purple player to be nice giving him the edge ;-)
What’s not to LOVE???
I LOVE purple… it was my University colours. I’d paint my bedroom purple if my husband would allow.
Thanx for the great giveaway.
When you can’t choose between blue or red, pick purple! Purple is the international colour of mystery.
Gameblog has had Purple Pawn headlines for a while, so I’d like an extra entry for that, please.

Purple is the best because it is the color of ninjas!
People think that ninjas wear black, but that is not so. The night is not true black. It is deep, deep purple. Therefore, if you do not want your opponents to see you until it is too late, play purple. Their defeat will be sudden and without warning!
When I was 5 years old, I received what is to date still the greatest birthday gift I’ve ever received: a bicycle. As a dutchman, my father made sure to get me an orange one, but the seat was purple! I can recall the colour to this day: somewhere between gentle lavender and the deeper, more striking grape jelly. To dad’s dismay, I soon asked if we could paint the whole bike that same wonderful colour. I rode regally through the neighbourhood astride my purple two-wheeler for years to come!
My daughter’s favorite color is purple, and she has a purple bedroom.
It is my favorite, because it is a beautiful color and besides colors like blue and pink are so common.
Purple is similar to azure and azure is similar to the sea and the sea is similar to the sky and the sky is similar to the saphire and the saphire is similar to the chair of honor
The best colour name ever is Heliotrope, which is purple.
I’ve always liked purple because it has historically been associated with royalty and power. However, you just didn’t want to be one of the millions upon millions of tiny shellfish which had to die to support the ancient purple dye industry. Hmm…there’s gotta be a game in that theme somewhere…
Actually, purple is the color of old Chinese emperor.
Zi Qi Dong Sheng ( Purple emerges) is a proverb that means the emperor emerges.
Therefore, purple is one of the favorite colors in China, another one is red.
And I am wearing a purple shirt today. :)

Purple has always been good to me in the gaming world. While everyone else fights over the reds and greens, purple is always waiting for me to claim it and begin our plans for gaming domination.
I graduated in purple. I got married in purple.
Purple rocks.
