Answer : PURPLE

Purple is a range of hues of color occurring between red and blue. The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as a deep, rich shade between crimson and violet. In the ancient world, purple was the color worn by Roman Emperors and magistrates, and later by Roman Catholic bishops. Since that time, purple has been commonly associated with royalty and piety. Purple can be a noun, meaning a color formed by, or resembling that formed by, a combination of the primary colors red and blue; an adjective (“He never liked that purple shirt.”); or a verb (“Their hands were purpled with grape juice,”).

Legend has it that purple dye was discovered in ancient Lebanon when a dog belonging to Hercules of Tyre ate a species of fish known as the purpura, and on returning to his master his lips were tinged with the color. After a few experiments, Hercules successfully imitated the effect.
