Great question! Several practical reasons:
Highly visible year-round—even in snow, mud, or dense foliage
Uncommon in nature, so it stands out (unlike red, which could be rust or clay)
Not used for other property markings (blue = pipeline, orange = survey, etc.)
Long-lasting paint resists fading better than many colors
🚫 Does It Apply Everywhere?
No. If you’re in a state without a purple paint law (like California, New York, or most of New England), purple markings have no legal standing. Always check your local statutes. CommissionCustom
