What color was long considered the color of royalty?

Purple has long been considered the color of royalty, a status it earned because the ancient Tyrian purple dye was extremely difficult and expensive to produce. It required thousands of sea snails to make just a small amount of the dye, which only the wealthy and powerful, such as Roman emperors and Byzantine rulers, could afford. As a result, purple became a symbol of immense wealth, power, and imperial status, and laws were even put in place to restrict its use to the elite.
