Is there a reason that the colour purple is associated with royalty?

Question

Was there some kind of real-world instance or happening we can point to that caused purple to become the “royal colour”?

I think you could literally Google this question directly and get your answer lol.

It’s pretty simple. Purple dyes used to be very hard to find and produce, and thus expensive. Only royalty and rich people could afford purple fabric.
