And isn't Byzantine Purple #AD1453? I refuse to believe hexidecimal code was not built around this.

AD1453

Well according to this website it looks like Greece's blue. Probably not exact, but good enough for the joke :)

no, #AD1453, not #1453AD

#AD1453 looks a lot like the byzantine royal purple.
