Violet is a color that lies between blue and purple on the visible spectrum of light. It has a wavelength of approximately 380 to 450 nanometers. Often associated with creativity and imagination, violet is commonly seen in nature, such as in flowers like violets and lavender. In color theory, violet is considered a secondary color, created by mixing equal parts of blue and red. It is often used in art and design to evoke feelings of calmness and spirituality. Violet is also linked to various cultural meanings, including royalty and luxury, due to its historical rarity in dyes.
