purpleness

Purpleness is the quality of being purple—the degree to which something exhibits that color: The purpleness of the sunset deepened as the sun dropped below the horizon.

The word can also describe overly ornate or florid writing, from the phrase "purple prose": The purpleness of his style made the novel hard to finish.
