The Colour Which No Nation Used In Their Flag, Strange !

That’s why it was used only my monarchs, British royal family still values purple colour and similarly the Roman Empire used it to reflect its power and wealth.

Flags were meant to be used in large numbers and no country was willing to spend nation’s wealth of extracting purple colour so they simply avoided using this colour.

Purple lost its value after a British student William Henry Perkin found the alternate way to make purple colour. His synthetic dye colour made it possible to produce the dye with minimum cost.
