Purple is my color. Not violet, red-violet, heliotrope, lavender, mauve, magenta, rose, indigo or lilac. Know why?

Well, let's see what Wiki says about purple:

'Violet is a spectral color (approximately 420–380nm), of a shorter wavelength than blue, while purple is a combination of red and blue light. The purples are colors on the color wheel that are not spectral colors – purples are extraspectral colors. In fact, purple was not present on Newton's color wheel (which went directly from violet to red), though it is present on modern ones. There is no such thing as the "wavelength of purple light"; it only exists as a combination. Also, violet light varies solely by wavelength, while purple varies by the proportion of red to blue light.'
