When you think of 'Friends,' what comes to mind?

Apart from Jennifer Aniston's ~iconic~ Rachel haircut and Joey's one-liners, Monica's bright purple apartment probably springs to mind.

...And according to the show's set designer, John Shaffler, there was a specfic reason why they went for that colour.

"Nobody likes change until I painted the little model apartment purple," he told Great Big Story.

"Colour is really important in establishing the show identity," he added.

"When you switch to 'Friends', you see that it is purple and you stay tuned."

Shaffler has also worked on hugely popular shows including 'The Big Bang Theory' and 'Two and a Half Men,' so we reckon he knows what he's talking about.

Now we can rest easy knowing why Monica loved purple so much!
