        DefinitionShort: a reddish-purple cloth dyed with a substance obtained from the murex shellfish; expensive to produce; associated with wealth and royalty

        Glosses: scarlet cloth

        Comments: In a number of languages there is no special color term for reddish-purple, since the color in question is sometimes classified as a kind of blue and in other instances it is related to black. However, in all languages it is possible to be somewhat more precise about color terms by likening the color to that of a local flower or bird.
