    Purple has long since been the colour of royalty and the elite. Besides that, I cannot think of anything else that purple symbolizes.

    Even before then, in the times of the Romans, where it was the colour that was associated with the emperor. The reason for this was because it was simply very expensive to make.

    Purple is the color of the bruises people get when fighting over chocolate.

    Purple, traditionally, represents royalty. This goes back to the Tabernacle times at least. So it's a pretty ancient symbolism. Also, because it was expensive to make, as has been said. A very prized and noble color. Also a beautiful one.

    Why is purple a common color in Cadbury Egg Chocolate?

    Because it comes around Easter time, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Glory! Hallellujah! Jesus, Prince of Peace!

    The true meaning of chocolate? Well, this is what I've always thought: Alcohol is the cause of all your problems, and chocolate is the solution.

    They cant use blue because that depresses the chocolate eaters, which defeats the purpose of chocolate. Red makes you think of blood and would turn you off, yellow is just lame unless it's used in moderate amounts and when the word moderation comes up they'll start losing profits, orange just makes even less sense than purple. green makes less sense than orange.

    So purple is the way to go
