Historically, the colour that usually represents royalty, and in turn the king, is the colour purple. This colourful symbolism was even present with the Romans, with the emperors wearing purple robes to distinguish themselves from other citizens. The reason that purple was chosen as the colour of royalty is due to the cost; at the time, purple dye was extremely expensive, and therefore only royalty could afford such lavish colours. To this day, purple is still associated with royalty, although not because of the price of the dye.
