What counts as violet here
Measured range in CIE LCh: lightness 25–55, chroma 35–80, hue 290°–325°.How we measure colour.
Violet here means a dark-to-mid purple with strong colour: lightness 25–55, chroma 35 or more, hue angle 290°–325°. It’s the shade of the velvet puffer that started this site.
Below 290° it turns into cobalt and royal blue; above 325° it heads towards magenta and plum. Velvet and satin finishes show violet best, because the colour shifts between highlight and shadow.
