Purple color symbolism is strongly associated with royalty for a reason that can be traced through material history. Before synthetic dyes, some purple colorants were difficult and expensive to produce, and certain famous purples required large quantities of sea snails. That scarcity helped make purple a visible marker of status. In Roman Catholic worship, however, purple has a different documented context: violet or purple is used during Advent and Lent.
