Yes purlple is the color of royalty
Purple was considered a royal color for centuries, in large part because the process used to make purple dye was very expensive. For one thing, it was found only in the glands of certain Mediterranean Sea snails, and only in very limited quantities.

Since only the wealthy could afford such a dye, it became associated with the wealthiest classes, including the nobility.

In Western history, purple has traditionally been the color of royalty dating back to the Roman Empire, when the first Caesar, Gaius Julius, used it. Prior to this it had been the color indicating the Roman Consul, the head of the Roman Senate (Senators wore red to indicate their position). Purple was also a favorite color of Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt at roughly the same time Julius was Caesar. Later, purple was used by European kings and queens, to indicate their position. The purple was generally displayed on there capes (purple with ermine trim) and/or as the color of the material used in making the inlay (cap) section of a crown. However, red has also been used traditionally to represent royalty, due to the fact that, as mentioned above, the dye was quite rare.
