Summary "Many years ago, the color purple was available only to a privileged few. The process was very complicated and expensive. Until 1856, when a boy named William Henry Perkin invented a new way. While testing a hypothesis about a cure for malaria, he found that his experiment resulted in something else--something vivid and rare for the times: synthetic PURPLE"-- Provided by publisher.
