Re: What Do We KNOW About WHITE LIGHT
Purple is a general term for the range of shades of color occurring between red and blue.
It occurs (in both subtractive pigment and additive light combinations) by mixing the primary colors red and blue in varying proportions, with possibly a very small quantity of the third primary color (green for light or yellow for pigment). There is a disagreement over exactly which shades can be described as purple, some people preferring more precise terms such as magenta or heliotrope for particular shades. A difference in retinal sensitivity to red and blue light between individuals can cause further disagreement.
In color theory, a 'purple' is defined as any non-spectral color between violet and red.
the spectral color violet is a purple.
In art, purple is the color on the color wheel between magenta and violet and its tints and shades. This color, is electric purple
In human color psychology, purple is associated with royalty, regality, and nobility (stemming from antiquity where Tyrian Purple was only affordable to the elites).
