Why can't you photograph Purple?



What is it about the colour purple? Why is it soooooo difficult to photograph? It looks blue/not purple when photographed!! OK I'm rubbish with the camera & it's not a top of the range but that is no excuse ............................. But I've tried :-)
2 cards for the purple challenge on Hels blog - they are purple Hels! :-)

Thanks Hazel :-) The camera hasn't picked up the actual colour very well but I'm glad they do look purple :-)

Rachel - Purple is allegedly a difficult colour to replicate. And a rough quote from 'The Color Purple' "God gets p'd off if you don't smile at the color purple' - well, I am smiling, in abundance, your cards are lovely!
