why is there no in any flag
how many country do we have?
196 country's in the word but why is there no purple in there flags?
Well back in the 1558 the queen said that she didn't want purple in any flag.
But why did she not want purple in any flags purple was a very good colour? Well purple was a Royalty colour so it was a very expensive colour so the Royalty could afford it, but not all Royalty could. like Rome the queen of Rome wanted purple but they couldn't afford it.
But if purple is so expensive then where did purple come from?
purple came from Mediterranean Sea but the colour come from a snail, and 1lbs =3lbs of gold that's $56,000,00 US dollar.
10,000 snails would produce 1 gram of Mediterranean snails.
but in 1856 Willam Henry perkin made purple with out Mediterranean purple that mint Willam made lots of money and now we have three country's that have purple in
Them
1. Nicaraguan got purple in their flag in 1908
2. Dominica got purple in their flag in 1967
3. Spain did get purple in their nut they had to wait from 1931 to
1939
1939
