This shade was discovered before Roman times through the use of harvesting and treating of a sea snail known as a mollusk. This tedious task provided very little dye, making the color very difficult and expensive to produce. Thus, plum was seen only amongst the noble. Today, we often hear about the colour plum in the context of makeup - lipstick, rouge and eye colour, but very seldom as a colour used in weddings. Perhaps it's time to explore this inviting and charming shade.
