Tyrian Purple Color 960 - #66023C

The true colour Tyrian purple, like most high chroma pigments, cannot be accurately displayed on a computer display, nor are ancient reports entirely consistent. This is color called "Tyrian purple" that is used in web site design. This color matches the color of the Tyrian purple cloak worn by Justinian I as depicted in mosaics in the 6th century Basilica of San Vitale.

Shown is the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I clad in Tyrian purple, 6th-century mosaic at Basilica of San Vitale, Ravenna, Italy
