Talk:Shades of purple

Needs better definition of red and violet

Simply “not including either red or violet themselves” is not a good idea, since both colour terms are ambiguous and may stray into the line of purples and the corresponding sector of hues. Crimson may be called “red”, and many varieties of what is called “violet” actually have the hue well beyond the small segment of spectral violet. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:41, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Pantone

I'm surprised to see Pantone's purple is not feature. I'm sure that Pantone has their own shade of purple, but does Wikipedia knows the hex triplet, etc. of Pantone's purple?--BigMac1212 (talk) 02:17, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I found the shade. It is Hex #BB29BB/R:187,G:41,B:187.--BigMac1212 (talk) 22:24, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
