Why only 2 countries have PURPLE on their FLAGS? 🟣

Ever wondered why almost no national flag has the color purple? In this video, we delve into the intriguing world of vexillology to answer this question. From ancient times where purple dye was a luxury, crushed from snails by the Phoenicians, to its association with high social status used by Roman aristocracy and emperors, we explore the fascinating history of the color purple. We then shift to the realm of flags, considering why purple was seldom used, even when the dye became cheaper. Uncover the reasons behind the limited use of purple in flags across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Oceania.
