Artwork
The album title, "Purple," is written as a Chinese character on the cover, and nowhere else on the packaging (with exception of the UK and European limited edition vinyl release). When asked about the title in an interview, vocalist Scott Weiland replied "It's my favorite color. It's the color of bruises."
On the cover of the cassette version of Purple, the child is holding the Chinese letter in his hand, and it is not in the corner. There are two pressings of the actual disc in Purple CDs. One version has flowers on it and another has dragon scales.
The vinyl LP release is made from colored vinyl - transparent purple in the US and UK release and a limited edition opaque marbled vinyl in a softer shade of purple available only in the UK and Europe.
