Clad in royal purple and ermine, he was seated upon a throne which was at the same time both simple and majestic.
他穿着蓝紫色的貂皮(长袍),坐在一个很简单却又十分威严的宝座上。
25 Lamentations 配乐圣经剧场版-NIV
Those who once ate delicacies are destitute in the streets. Those brought up in royal purple now lie on ash heaps.
素来吃美好食物的,现今在街上变为孤寒;素来卧朱红褥子的,现今躺卧粪堆。

There were things sprouting and pushing out from the roots of clumps of plants and there were actually here and there glimpses of royal purple and yellow unfurling among the stems of crocuses.
Tyrian purple (Greek, πορφύρα, porphyra, Latin:purpura), also known as Tyrian red, royal purple, imperial purple or imperial dye, is a bromine-containing reddish-purple natural dye. It is a secretion produced by several species of predatory sea snails in the family Muricidae, rock snails originally known by the name Murex.
