In formal color theory, purple colors often refer to the colors on the line of purples on the CIE chromaticity diagram (or colors that can be derived from colors on the line of purples), i.e., any color between red and violet, not including either red or violet themselves.
Tones of violet tending towards the blue are called indigo. Purple colors are colors that are various blends of violet or blue light with red light.
In that case, the spectral colors violet and indigo would not be shades of purple. For other speakers of English, these colors are shades of purple. In the traditional color wheel long used by painters, purple is placed between crimson and violet.
In optics, violet is a spectral color (referring to the color of different single wavelengths of light), whereas purple is the color of various combinations of red and blue (or violet) light, some of which humans perceive as similar to violet.
The color lavender might be described as a medium purple, a pale bluish purple, or a light pinkish-purple. The term lavender may be used in general to apply to a wide range of pale, light, or grayish-purples, but only on the blue side; lilac is pale purple on the pink side.
