Ironman verdict
You can also make it yourself: it needs no skill level, using Blue dye and Red dye. Where the materials come from: Blue dye (sold by Lletya Seamstress for 6 coins); Red dye (sold by Lletya Seamstress for 6 coins). 12 recipes use Purple dye, including Brown dye, Cape (purple) and Decorative purple rug. Purple dye is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 3 coins, which is 3 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
