Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There were seven rooms in the imperial suite at the abbey, laid out from east to west, just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The rooms are blue, purple, green, orange, white and violet. Each room, according to one theory, represents a stage in the life of man.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first room had blue cloth hangings on the wall-and blue were its windows. The second room had wall hangings of that blue-red known as purple, and here the windows were purple. The third was green, and so was the glass of the windows.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to this reading, the blue room, which is furthest to the east, represents birth. The color suggests the “unknown” from which a human being comes into the world. The next room is purple, a combination of blue (birth) and red (associated with life, intensity) suggests the beginnings of growth.

Detailed explanation-4: -red, in physics, the longest wavelength of light discernible to the human eye. It falls in the range of 620–750 nanometres in the visible spectrum.
