>Royal purple was actually the color of dried blood,
Are you colour blind?
Have you ever seen dried blood on fabric?
Bit of a timely coincidence with invention of synthetic purple:
Perkin was studying at the Royal College of Chemistry and was trying to find a way of making quinine in his makeshift lab at home. At the time, quinine was used to treat malaria, but it was expensive because it came from the bark of the South American cinchona tree. Perkin had been adding hydrogen and oxygen to coal tar, as you do, and this heady concoction left a black residue in his glass jars. When this was made into a solution, it resulted in the first “aniline dyestuff” – as the blue plaque, on his former house in London’s Cable Street, notes.
In the month he turned 18, Perkin had discovered not synthetic quinine, but synthetic purple. The mucking about in his bedroom not only made him famous, it made him rich.
