Would you consider purple a warm blue or a cool red? (lemmy.ml)

Erm what?... That's a pretty bizarre question. Like asking if a fork is more of a spoon, or a butter knife. Purple is not a red or a blue, it's a mix of red and blue, not a discrete wavelength. Violet and indigo may look similar to it but, unlike purple, are discrete wavelengths.

If one has to answer the question, it depends on the red and blue used to make the purple.
