Immediately after black and white, purple is my favourite colour. Why? Well . . . why not? As Alice Walker put it in The Color Purple, "I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it." Purple is sumptuous, bold, the colour of royalty.

Here's a sterling example from Pulitzer-Prize winning author, Alice Walker, in her open letter to Barack Obama. It's a letter, by the way, that reporter John Nichols from Madison's Capital Times calls "wise counsel."
