purple is a great color like red and blue
I love purple! It looks great on cars sometimes.
it is similar but not exactly violet
Really? I thought they were actually synonyms.
nope purple is not the same as violet or red or blue
That's really surprising, I guess I'll have to look up the difference.
i think i like blue better than purple as a color tho
Blue is my favorite color so I can definitely agree with that.
Purple
Purple is a color intermediate between blue and red. It is similar to violet, but unlike violet, which is a spectral color with its own wavelength on the visible spectrum of light, purple is a secondary color made by combining red and blue. The complementary color of purple in the RYB color model is yellow.
According to surveys in Europe and North America, purple is the color most often associated with rarity, royalty, magic, mystery, and piety. When combined with pink, it is associated
, by mixing red and blue light, with the blue twice as bright as the red. This is not true violet, for it does not match the color of a single wavelength shorter than that of blue light.
The color's name is derived from the violet flower. Violet and purple look similar, but violet is a spectral color, with its own set of wavelengths on the spectrum of visible light. Purple is a dichromatic color, made by combining blue and red. Amethyst is a notable violet crystal,
