The Color Purple

When you think of upcountry Maui, it's easy to think of green, but there's another color that flavors the sides of Haleakala, and it's various shades are seen in the lavender in Kula, the jacaranda of Pukalani, and the agapanthus of Keokea.

"I think it pisses God off when you walk by the
color purple in a field and don't notice it."
-Shug, The Color Purple, 1985
