The "point" I am making is that people in this thread are going around saying Violet is this and Purple is that... but...
Who got to decide that?
Because it certainly isn't the court of public opinion, who couldn't give a shit about wavelengths or spectral purity or eye response.
How do you know the claim made by the OP is even true?
Looking around the net, most websites that discuss the matter seem to be just copying each other as if it was an urban legend. Many dictionaries give multiple definitions (as opposed to the "strict" single definition given by the OP), and wikipedia just cites a book that is targeted towards industrial uses (as opposed to colloquial use).
>Magenta, then.
My point exactly.
If it wasn't for the common industrial use of magenta in printers during the last few decades, nobody would give a fuck about magenta being a combination of two wavelengths. Everyone would still be thinking of that color as just a color. Like yellow. Or purple. Or violet.
Just because an industry or scientific field creates a definition of a word for their own use, doesn't magically make it also the definition for colloquial use, e.g. your average redditor.
