FIL: Ang kulay na nasa pagitan ng pula at bughaw; lila.
EN: purple
It's the Spanish-derived word for purple, making it sound a bit more *alta* than the more common "lila" or the English "purple". You'd use "murado" to describe the color of an expensive gown, a fancy wine, or maybe the color of the sky during a really dramatic sunset. It's the color of royalty, or at least the color of ube everything.
From Spanish 'morado'.
Less common than 'lila' in everyday conversation but understood. Often appears in literature or when describing specific shades.
