The colorByzantium is a particular dark tone ofpurple. It originates in modern times, and, despite its name, it should not be confused withTyrian purple (hue rendering), the color historically used byRoman andByzantine emperors. The latter, often also referred to as "Tyrian red", is more reddish in hue, and is in fact often depicted as closer tocrimson than purple. The first recorded use ofbyzantium as a color name inEnglish was in 1926.[2]
