Hmm if you talk to a colorist violet and purple are 2 different colors one more on the red and the other more on the blue. That’s still the construct of 2 wavelength colors. So a made up color of our brain that doesn’t exist.

"Violet" is a spectral color, which means that it is a color formed by a single wavelength of light. And it is a member of the rainbow (the spectrum).

"Purple" is a mixture of red and blue.
