It takes the place of No Trespassing signs. Poachers can't tear the paint off like signs. I've always contended , it shouldn't matter the color, but I didn't get a vote.

I think the color is because other states implemented purple paint prior to Alabama so for consistency reasons it made sense to stick with purple.

If the landlines are clearly marked there should be ZERO color requirement. Purple, Blue, Yellow... there is no difference when painted in the effectively the same manner. This law is a joke and not serious.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

2Dogs said it best. It takes the place of No Trespass signs. No more excuses about signs not there. I guess if you are colorblind and can't see purple you could try that in front of a Judge.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

There's a good reason for the specific color for posting the land. It doesn't just show where the boundary of the property is. It posts a warning against trespassing.
There aren't as many landowners these days as there used to be that allow the public to enter without permission, but there are still some. The law still requires land to be either posted against trespass or gated and fenced if the landowner doesn't want people to enter it unless they have been warned in person. The crime is still called "trespass after warning". for prosecution. Lots of folks get that mixed up with the law that requires permission for hunting. If you're not hunting, the law is on your side for entering undeveloped property that isn't posted against trespassing without permission.
It dates all the way back to the common law "open fields doctrine" before landowners got so stingy with their lands. I've seen the difference take place in my lifetime. That's how fast it has changed. When I was a kid, there were thousands of acres of undeveloped land where no permission was necessary to enjoy going there to pick berries, swim in creeks or just enjoy God's Creation. I don’t think landowners got “stingy” as you say. These scumbag trespassers starting suing landowners when they got hurt trespassing their land and won. Don’t blame a man for protecting what’s rightly his, blame the scumbag trespassing law breakers and their ambulance chasing lawyers

"I guess if you are colorblind and can't see purple you could try that in front of a Judge."
"There are only a handful of colors that show particularly well in the outdoors. Blaze orange obviously comes to mind first, but purple also shows itself well in a natural setting. In fact, it's also one of the few colors colorblind people can easily identify, making it an optimal choice for marking important landmarks. This is especially important in the woods where everything sort of blends together, as you don't want people to miss "no hunting" or "no trespassing" indicators on private land.
Back in 1989, Arkansas instituted the "purple paint rule" as a way for private property owners to effectively and efficiently post their land. By 1997, Texas adopted the rule as well."

Many years ago we were allowed on wheat fields in Arkansas that didn’t have purple markings. Especially sneaking on snow geese and was east to figure it out with out knocking on doors. Farmers wanted them killed because they could ruin a wheat field in a few days.
