Red-purple

Royal purple or generic purple is the common layman's idea of purple, but professional artists, following Munsell color system, regard purple as being synonymous with the red-violet color shown at right, in order to clearly distinguish purple from violet and thus have access to a larger palette of colors. This red-violet color, called artist's purple by artists, is the pigment color that would be on the color wheel between pigment violet and pigment magenta.
Artists pigments and colored pencils labeled as purple are colored the red-violet color shown at right.
