My six year old niece has a Passion for Purple. Give her a brand new box of crayon – the big 120 count box and she will invariably go for the purples. The lavender, eggplant, plum and violets are first crayons to wear down to nubs. Her room, her hair ribbons, her favorite clothes are all purple.
But then I seem to remember having purple as my favorite color at that age and well beyond. Even now I can barely resist anything with an amethyst stone or crystal. Grape colored yarn can still delight me and violet eye shadow will have me reaching for my wallet.
