They're just names for arbitrary divisions of the spectrum of vibrating matter around us. The HN top bar is still orange even if it's not the same color as the fruit. My GameCube is close enough to the color of the dye that I'll allow it. It's also a long way from purple.

I'm sorry but the "Indigo" GameCube is much closer to a strict definition of purple than it is darker blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple

I'm talking about my actual GameCube sitting in my game storage drawer, which I checked before making that comment. That image is much brighter and much more purple than the real thing I had in my hands.

Not entirely arbitrary - some of these colors(single-frequencies) match fairly well what one of our types of cone cells can easily detect, and some don't. Some frequencies are well-detected by two of the types of cones not just one, providing us with better ability to discriminate amongst those frequencies.
