Violet Red
The color violet red is a bright tone of red-violet, it has been a Crayola color since 1958.
Red-violet or pigment purple (pigment red-violet) represents the way the color purple (red-violet) was
normally reproduced in pigments, paints, or colored pencils in the 1950s on an old-fashioned RYB color
wheel.
The normalized color coordinates for red-violet are identical to medium violet red, which was first recorded
as a color name in English with the formalization of the X11 color names over 1985β1989.
By the 1970s, because of the advent of psychedelic art, artists became used to brighter pigments, and
pigments called "purple" or "bright purple" that are the pigment equivalent of electric purple became
available in artist's pigments and colored pencils.
Reproducing electric purple in pigment requires adding some white and a small amount of blue to red-violet
pigment. Even then, the reproduction will not be exact, because it is impossible for pigment colors to be so
bright as colors displayed on a computer.
