Is PURPLE the color of this season?

Can someone come over to my place and stuff an appetite suppressant down my throat, lol. I've been up since 8.30am and havent stopped eating since. If this goes on, i wont be able to wear all those nice tops that i'm knitting and crochet-ing now!!!! I'm working on another crochet top. Hope i can complete it by month's end. I just got to know that the color of the season is PURPLE!!!! WOO HOO!!!! I love purple. Can someone confirm with me if it's really purple? I have this gorgeous purple yarn and am dying to start a project with it. Just havent decided what kind of top to knit or crochet yet.
