Description

Violet is a color produced by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of about 400–450nm. It is considered a secondary color in the traditional RYB color wheel made by mixing blue and red. The shade of violet from the color wheel (halfway between blue and red) is represented by the following color coordinates:

  • Hex triplet: # 7F00FF
  • RGB: (127, 0, 255); CMYK (0, 0, 0, 100)
  • HSV: (270°, 100%, 50%)

Examples of inorganic violet pigments:

Examples of organic violet pigments:
