Well, what is it?

The Origin of the Phrase section doesn't actually say what the origin of the phrase is. It outlines the reason that there is such a phrase, but not what it actually means. Is there any purple on the uniform? And why is this "purple", and not "orange trades" or chartreuse? The term "purple" doesn't even appear in this section.

I think it has to do with the idea that when the colors of services mix they become purple. There is a similar idea used around the American military too.★Trekker (talk) 14:34, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
