Heaven will be purple
According to hymn writer Bernard of Morlas, there will be purple in heaven. This 12th century hymnist composed a great poem of three thousand lines. One of the stanzas speaks of heaven....
With jasper glow thy bulwarks, Thy streets with em'ralds blaze;
The sardius and the topaz Unite in thee their rays;
Thine ageless walls are bonded with amethyst unpriced;
The saints build up thy fabric, The cornerstone is Christ.
I'm looking forward to seeing that!!
