Purple is one of the least used colours in vexillology and heraldry. Currently, the colour appears in only three national flags: that of Dominica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and one co-official national flag, the Wiphala (co-official national flag of Bolivia). However, it is also present in the flags of several administrative subdivisions around the world, as well as flags of political and ethnic groups and sexual minorities.

Background [ edit ]

In the past, purple dye was very expensive to produce, with the first compound used as one, Tyrian purple, being made from the mucus of a family of sea snail found only in the eastern Mediterranean and off Mogador Island near Morocco. To produce small amounts of it, it was required to obtain the mucus of thousands of snails, which was extremely labor-intensive. As such, it remained extremely expensive to use the dye, which resulted in it having almost no presence in flags and gaining the reputation as the colour of nobility and royalty, as they were the only groups able to readily afford it.[1] In Asia, the main dye used was Han purple, although it more closely resembles indigo. During Medieval Ages, in Europe, the colour was used in the standard of the Kingdom of León, during the reign of Alfonso VII,[2] and in the royal standard of the Kingdom of Castile.[3] Both states united in 1230, forming the Crown of Castile, which continued to use the combination of their flags until 1715.[3] In South America, during the Pre-Columbian era, the Wiphala, flags used by the subdivisions of the Inca Empire, contained purple colour.[4] In modern era, synthetic purple dyes became easier to obtain, and flags with purple colour began being used more commonly. In 1931, the Second Spanish Republic established a tricolour flag consisting of red, yellow and purple stripes as its national flag, seeing use in Spain until 1939 and by the Spanish Republican government in exile until 1977. The flag is still sometimes used by supporters of republicanism in Spain.[3] Currently, the colour appears in only three national flags: that of Dominica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, and one co-official national flag, the Wiphala, (co-official national flag of Bolivia). However, it is present in the flags of several administrative subdivisions around the world.[1]

What is the orange cable buried in my yard?

The line is known as a drop. Temporary drops are typically orange. Techs will sometime run temporary drops so customers don't need to wait for service. The drops are not dangerous to touch, so if you need to move the drop it's fine to do so.

Created by our Community Experts

Don't panic! A crazed Comcast technician hasn't lost his/her marbles. The line is known as a drop. Temporary drops are typically orange. Techs will sometime run temporary drops so customers don't need to wait for service. The drops are not dangerous to touch, so if you need to move the drop it's fine to do so. Temporary drops are usually buried by a special crew within 10 business days. The process may take longer in some cases, but it shouldn't be very much longer than a few weeks. If the ground is frozen where you live, Comcast won't be able to bury the drop until spring. The actual process of getting the drop buried will very by state. In some regions the crew will just lift up your sod, place the cable underneath and replace the sod. Other installations can be more complicated. For instance, if the crew needs to run your drop under a sidewalk or driveway. You may see flags and paint in your yard before the drop burial, those indicators are required by law so the bury crew does not come in contact with other underground utilities. There is no cost to you to replace/bury a drop and your yard will be restored to its original state once the drop is buried. Occasionally there is a mix up and Comcast forgets to bury the drop. If this has happened to you, please post in the Customer Service forum. Title your post "There is an orange cable in my yard" or maybe "Please bury my drop". An actual Comcast employee will give you individual attention and make sure your drop gets buried.
