	Purpure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		There has long been some uncertainty about the status of the tincture purpure in heraldry, for its place is not as firm as that of the others, and its use is fairly rare.
		Some authors have even disputed that it is a true tincture, although the Spanish kingdom of Leon was blazoned: argent, a lion purpure as early as 1245, and the tincture appears in French and English armories of the 13th c, and in numerous Round Table armories of the 14th and 15th c.
		It is plausible that, in the 16th c., the diffusion of Classical culture made most people think of purpure as the Roman purple, and the color, which was rare in any case, was changed to purple to accommodate the word, rather than the reverse.

	Purpure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In heraldry, purpure is a tincture, more or less the equivalent of the color "purple", and is one of the five main or most usually used colors (as opposed to metals).
		It may be portrayed in engravings by a series of parallel lines at a 45 degree angle running from upper right to lower left from the point of view of an observer, or else indicated by using purp.
		Purpure has existed since the earliest periods, for example in the purpure lion of the arms of León; at that time, it was painted in a greyer shade.

	Armoria ABC - Tinctures
		Supplies of marine purple came to an end during the Middle Ages, possibly as a result of the collapse of the so-called Byzantine Empire (concluding with the fall of Constantinople in 1453), and since that time the word purple (in various Western languages) has come to mean what we understand it to mean today.
		However, an echo of the original meaning is perhaps to be found in one Spanish usage of heraldic purpure (purpura in Spanish) – the colour of the lion of León appears in the current official arms of Spain as pink or lilac.
		The exact tint of murrey is between gules and purpure; and tenné is an orange-tawny colour.
