110 Types of Purple

John Spacey, updated on December 01, 2019

Purple is a color that results from mixing blue and red. It is also common for people to perceive violet as purple. Violet is the color in the spectrum of visible light with a wavelength of 380-450 nanometres. This is the shortest wavelength of light that is visible to humans. Any wavelength below 380 nanometres is known as ultraviolet light. Purple is a relative rare color in nature. Perhaps for this reason, it has been used since Ancient Rome as a symbol of royalty. Purple is also associated with extravagance, individualism, artificial things and the unconventional. The following are common variations of purple, violet and purplish color.
