      That’s kinda up for debate. Most people casually consider violet to be purple, and the distinction of it being a non-spectral color is a (fairly contentious) academic one.

      Now pink, on the other hand, that’s an unholy creation not of earth…

        Violet’s wavelength is singular, and near the edge of the visible spectrum while purple has 2 peaks and is in the middle, as mix of red and blue (as stated). Think harmonics but with light.

        They are very much different colors. The shade/hue/etc. are all different values. 4F2F4F vs 800080.
