r/colors

screenshot directly from colourwheels in this sub.

you guys are fussing around too much with the blue/purple end of the spectrum and forgetting the most important colours

I’d like to get my car painted this color but how do I tell them which pink this is? I really think this pink looks nice.

This sub randomly got reccomended even though I don't follow any related activity so I decided to join what looks like the latest trend

Both are considered the combination of Blue and Red.

Both are in-between Blue and Magenta in the colour wheel.

Both are used a lot with each other despite being different.

But Violet is actually on the Light Spectrum unlike Purple.

Purple is more used in everyday language, but should it be that way?

I didn’t even follow this sub initially, but kept getting recommended posts where people misidentify their colors. Being who I am, I had to make a ‘correct’ version.

I’ve included some additional notes based on some of the ‘misunderstandings’ I’ve seen.

DISCLAIMER: The lines are close approximations. You may have to nudge them slightly to include the correct color range. While we all see [or don’t see] colors differently, these should still line up for most.

Now I sit in fear, waiting for criticisms and corrections.

Took pictures in natural light but it was hard to get an accurate representation. This is the closest I could get to it irl and I believe as close as possible.

PS- just kidding, I know color is perceptual! ...but...real talk, my art degree is proof I know the actual CORRECT answer lol
