The colour Purple

PURPLE:

There is a legend about Hercules.  As per the legend, one day Hercules went for fishing. He took his dog with him. The dog caught a fish called parpura. When Hercules saw the colour on the dog's mouth he was delighted with the beauty of the hue.  He informed this news to all his courtiers. The people also caught the a liking for the colour. They mixed paints to match this colour. The colour later came to be known as purple after the name of the fish parpura.
