"Jahangir, Mughal emperor from 1605 to 1627, once paid a visit to his brother-in-law on New Year's Day. To celebrate the event, his brother-in-law carpeted the road between his house and the palace with gold brocades and rich velvets, so that the royal entourage would not have to touch the ground. Today we say "Roll out the red carpet" or "the red-carpet treatment" to indicate the conferring of honor and prestige."

The Legend: About 500 years ago there was a carpet and Benulus-Ladens (bin-laden's mother's grandfather) drop a big c4 bomb every time a star walk on that carpet, the blood give the red color to carpet... and so on...

Red was one of the colors associated with royalty and higer class individuals. Hence "The red carpet treatment". Purple was another color associated with royalty. The reason was because red and purple were tough colors for things to dye way back in the day. Red, because you had to use alot of dye for the cloth not to be pink and purple...well, you don't see a whole lot of purple in nature to make the dye ,do you?

It's probably traditional. I went to the Kodak theatre last summer and got to walk on it :)

A red carpet welcome signifies the recognition of their achievements after their individual struggles in life respectively.
