minus-squareMagicShel@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 months agoYes. Purple is not a single color. Maybe a spectrum analysis could answer this for a given instance of purple, but that’s not my area of knowledge.
minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 months agoSurgically, purple is not a wavelength, unlike red(s) at ~700nm and blue(s) at ~400nm. Purple is what human eyes see when the blue and red cones are both stimulated by their respective colours of light.
minus-squareTolookah@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoRight, indigo is a color (~425nm), violet is a color (~400nm), purple is typically a blend of colors. See more: https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/47-colours-of-light
minus-squareddh@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 months agoFun fact: blends of colours are also colours.
