    Violet is a spectral color with wavelengths between approximately 380 and 435 nanometers that is located between blue and ultraviolet light. It is one of the seven colors identified by Isaac Newton in 1672 and gets its name from the violet flower. In computer and television screens, violet is produced by mixing more blue light than red light, while in printing it uses a combination of magenta and cyan pigments with more magenta. Violet is closely associated with purple and refers specifically to a single wavelength, whereas purple is a combination of red and blue or violet lights that some perceive as similar to violet.

    Violet 

    is the color of light at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum, between blue and


    invisible ultraviolet. It is one of the seven colors that Isaac Newton labeled when dividing the
    spectrum of visible light in 1672. Violet light has a wavelength between approximately 380 and 435
    nanometers.[2] The color's name is derived from the violet flower.[3][4]
    In the RGB color model used in computer and television screens, violet is produced by mixing red
    and blue light, with more blue than red. In the RYB color model historically used by painters, violet is
    created with a combination of red and blue pigments and is located between blue and purple on
    the color wheel. In the CMYK color model used in printing, violet is created with a combination
    of magenta and cyan pigments, with more magenta than cyan.
    Violet is closely associated with purple. In optics, violet is a spectral color (referring to the color of
    different single wavelengths of light), whereas purple is the color of various combinations of red and
    blue (or violet) light,[5][6] some of which humans perceive as similar to violet. In common usage, both
    terms are used to refer to a variety of colors between blue and red in hue.[7][8][9]
    Violet has a long history of association with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye was
    extremely expensive in antiquity.[10] The emperors of Rome wore purple togas, as did the Byzantine
    emperors. During the Middle Ages, violet was worn by bishops and university professors and was
    often used in art as the color of the robes of the Virgin Mary.[11] In Chinese painting, the color violet
    represents the "unity transcending the duality of Yin and yang" and "the ultimate harmony of
    the universe".[12] In Hinduism and Buddhism, purple and/or violet is associated with the Crown
    Chakra.[13] One European study suggests that violet is the color people most often associate with
    extravagance, individualism, vanity and ambiguity.[14]

    Etymology and definitions[edit]

    The line of purples circled on the CIE chromaticity diagram. The bottom left of the curved edge is violet. Points
    near and along the circled edge are purple.

    The word violet as a color name derives from the Middle English and Old French violete, in turn from
    the Latin viola, names of the violet flower.[3][4] The first recorded use as a color name in English was in
    1370.[15]

    Relationship to purple[edit]
    Violet is closely associated with purple. In optics, violet is a spectral color: It refers to the color of any
    different single wavelength of light on the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum (between
    approximately 380 and 435 nanometers),[16] whereas purple is the color of various combinations of
    red, blue and violet light,[5][6] some of which humans perceive as similar to violet. In common usage,
    both terms are used to refer to a variety of colors between blue and red in hue.[7][8][9] Historically, violet
    has tended to be used for bluer hues and purple for redder hues.[7][17][18] In the traditional color
    wheel used by painters, violet and purple are both placed between red and blue, with violet being
    closer to blue.[citation needed]
