I had blood drawn for labs this past Monday. I was all decked out in purple that day as is my want. Purple dress, shoes, and handbag. As the phlebotomist led me into the lab she commented that I looked like a queen as purple has always been the color associated with royalty. She also said it was her favorite color and wished instead of the black scrubs she was required to wear, she could reveal her true identity as a queen by donning the royal color.
She drew the blood, removed the "thingy"(highly technical term ya know), put a gauze over where she had taken the blood and reached for the vivid blue stretchy tape to wrap around the crook of my left arm. Then she stopped, tossed that length of blue tape into the trash can, opened a drawer saying, "Oh, that just won't do", reached in and removed a roll of purple bandaging tape to hold the gauze in place. "You just NEED this color instead", she said and we both chuckled over this moment of bonding because of our shared love of purple!
And incidentally, being Louisiana(the home of the "Who Dat?" Nation and LSU)I should have known they would have that tape in this color. lol
