I really love the color purple, the actual shade purple not the movie lol!!
I do too. In some countries, Japan for example, the color is associated with the Japanese Emperor and society's aristocracy.
Oh really I thought most countries used red, I guess not
Well, purple is a combination of red and blue, so you're not far off! It's similar to violet.
I like most everything purple, but it is a hard color to decorate a house with I think
Depends how you do it I suspect. You could pretend to be a magician or a member of royalty and tell everyone that's why you chose the color! Most people apparently associate purple with those things
Yes I could see royalty, I could say I come from a royal family...hhmmm.. 
Say you are descended from a long line of Byzantine rulers - that's the color they wore.
I will try that, and redecorate in beautiful purple
