Neutrally Brilliant – Purple in the Garden
Thursday, October 11, 2007
Remember when the very idea of the color purple was like a bad word? Go to school in purple socks and risk getting laughed off the playground. It was a color that was almost as good as a laugh line. • But purple has changed. According to the color industry it's going to be this year's fashion …
