Prince liked orange, not purple

London: Music icon Prince’s favourite colour was orange not purple, his sister Tyka Nelson has said. The colour is associated with the singer because of one of his biggest hits Purple Rain, which also became the title of the 1984 movie, starring Prince. In an interview with Evening Standard, Nelson made the revelation while talking about the upcoming memorabilia auction on Prince. “The stand-out piece for me is his orange Cloud guitar. It is strange because people always associate the colour purple with Prince, but his favourite colour was actually orange,” she said.
