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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

Possible removal from list

Entries in List of colors: A–F contained links to this page.

The entries are :

  • Chinese purple
  • Dark pastel purple

An entry in List of colors: N–Z contained a link to this page.

The entry is :

  • Philippine violet
  • Spanish purple

I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and plan to delete them from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries

If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick(Talk) 15:35, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
