    Right, indigo is a color (~425nm), violet is a color (~400nm), purple is typically a blend of colors.

      Fun fact: blends of colours are also colours.

        Nu uh!

        Okay, poor choice of words by me. Wavelength color vs what the eyes see.

          No worries, sorry for the snark. I find colour fascinating, like, when you dream of a purple dinosaur that’s colour without any light at all.
