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.
Tyrian purple may first have been used by the ancient Phoenicians as early as 1570 BC. The dye was greatly prized in antiquity because the colour did not easily fade, but instead became brighter with weathering and sunlight. Its significance is such that the name Phoenicia means 'land of purple.' It came in various shades, the most prized being that of "blackish clotted blood".
Tyrian purple was expensive: the 4th-century-BC historian Theopompus reported, "Purple for dyes fetched its weight in silver at Colophon" in Asia Minor. The expense meant that purple-dyed textiles became status symbols, and early sumptuary laws restricted their uses. The production of Tyrian purple was tightly controlled in Byzantium and was subsidized by the imperial court, which restricted its use for the colouring of imperial silks. Later (9th century) a child born to a reigning emperor was said to be porphyrogenitos, "born in the purple".
Tyrian may refer to the following:

Its that time of year again (relax, my monthly bandwidth has been increased at last!) when Tony's unbridled escapades amuse us all. Not only do we learn the folly of having a pedantic and pushy monarchy in charge of the commonwealth but we also remember why we're all glad we live in this day and age instead :) Creative Planet, Creative Thinking

Here I review an ink by Diamine, by the title of "Tyrian Purple" (a very nice Purple ink, with lovely Maroon-undertones in its color, and slightly-wet flow). Here-in may be found my own thoughts and opinions on the matter, as well as some test results I have for (among other factors) water-resistance on Clairefontaine, Fabriano, Rhodia, Tomoe River, Copier Paper, Mead Notebook Paper, and Moleskine papers; and using both a pen by A.G. Spalding & Bros. with a (Japanese) Medium nib, and a JinHao X450 with a fairly-broad-fairly-wet nib as pens for these tests/experiments.
