Beyond being difficult and expensive to reproduce as a dye or pigment, purple is also one of the rarest colours in nature.
Comparatively, few animals, plants, or natural phenomena are purple, and therefore we tend to notice it more when we do see it.
Purple is a "non-spectral colour", meaning it has no wavelength of its own but is always a combination of others on the visible light spectrum — red and blue, specifically.
