Tyrian purple—derived from the mucus of Murex sea snails—required 12,000 snails to produce just 1.5 grams of dye, making it the most expensive substance in the ancient world. Roman emperors decreed it exclusive to royalty, and Byzantine empresses gave birth in a porphyry-lined chamber so children could be 'born in the purple.' This legacy of exclusivity persists: purple remains shorthand for luxury and prestige.
