This replicates how I feel about this color even if it’s an old reflection. The color purple and its multiple shades have such a rich history.
One of my favorite things is to read things about color, people’s thoughts on it, how they describe it and their story.

I love when people talk about colors and their history. They're always such rich descriptions. Here are some articles written by Katy Kelleher, from The Paris Review:
• Periwinkle, the Color of Poison, Modernism, and Dusk.
• Chartreuse, the Color of Elixirs, Flappers, and Alternate Realities.
• Verdigris: The Color of Oxidation, Statues, and Impermanence.
• Marian Blue, the Color of Angels, Virgins, and Other Untouchable Things.

A Mexican artist rediscovers a lost color sacred to his ancestors.
As of late, I've been obsessed with colors. To think that some of them can't really be replicated because they have been lost to time or they're too damaging due to their composition with dangerous chemicals is something I never thought of until recently.
A whole color/shade disappearing because of it. I get just as intrigued by people who are dedicated to making attempts at recovering those colors, even if it's just through written media, taking the time to register it. But when they actually achieve it–the recreation–I'm impressed by their level of commitment.

i feel like i feel a lot more deeply about my favorite colors than others just given how much it bleeds into every part of my identity!! but uhhh i actually decided on a new favorite color recently after it sparking more joy for me in my day to day…
my old favorite color made me very happy, it’s the color of windows into homes at nighttime and it’s always felt very warm and homey to me… my new favorite color is the color the clouds turn at sunsets and also of my favorite flowers <3 and it’s a bit more feminine and pink which i love… idk… for me it’s just like what color brings me the most joy
