In the past, purple dye was extremely rare and expensive. It was made from tiny sea snails, and it took thousands of them to make just a small amount of dye. Because of this, only the richest people, like kings and queens, could afford to wear purple. That’s why you don’t see it on flags—countries couldn’t afford to use such a costly color!
