Today, let's learn about five ways that violet is different from purple in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Violet_is_a_type_of_flower\"><\/span>#1 Violet is a type of flower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In English, purple is just a color. However, violet is also a type of flower. In fact, before it became a color, \u201cviolet\u201d mainly referred to the flower, which looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/2RUz1OMaKTNapo6pgEIkpgbd1ethgnqxCl6dK7ZwuwSNz4L3003Stx3nir9M5CxRIp1kIX_f7tITuGG78qxlhzSOcpD0ta3XTQPielyzStT0dIyOiE6lo5LbB2LQxgx6Ecsowc1uA7NhJQ6QIbrcKpPQZIgrvNdNJzyGLV1_BRo5LbJqav4IvjBf_dzpZw\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This flower appears in a classic poem that you often see on Valentine\u2019s Day cards:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Roses are red,\nViolets are blue.\nSugar is sweet,\nAnd so are you.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>People often change the last two lines to give the poem different meanings or to make a joke, but they keep the first two lines the same. Here are two examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Roses are red,\nViolets are blue.\nI\u2019d rather be single\nThan with someone like you.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Roses are red,\nViolets are blue.\nYou don\u2019t always smell good\nBut I still love you.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, most English speakers know the phrase \u201cRoses are red, violets are blue.\u201d Interestingly the poem says that violets are blue, not purple, even though violet is a shade of purple. More on that below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Violet_is_a_less_common_color_than_purple\"><\/span>#2 Violet is a less common color than purple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While both violet and purple are types of colors, <strong>native English speakers<\/strong> refer to purple more than violet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean violet isn\u2019t common. When 353 American college students were asked to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/43103137\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">list as many colors as they could<\/a>, purple was the 7th most commonly-listed color and violet came in 11th out of a total of 487 different colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So violet is still a well-known color. English speakers just don\u2019t use it to describe things as often as they use the color purple. This is probably because violet is a specific type of purple, so anything that could be described as \u201cviolet\u201d could also be described as \u201cpurple.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Violet_is_a_type_of_purple\"><\/span>#3 Violet is a type of purple<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what does \u201cviolet\u201d actually mean? Most major dictionaries describe it as a bluish purple, like the color of the flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>a bluish-purple colour<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/dictionary\/english\/violet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cViolet\u201d | Cambridge Dictionary<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u200bbetween blue and purple in colour<\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com\/us\/definition\/english\/between_1?q=between\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cViolet\u201d | Oxford Learners\u2019 Dictionaries<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>What about native speakers? Some agree that violet is a bluish purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I would say it is a cool-toned purple, which means it has more blue than other shades of purple.<\/p>\n<cite>An Engoo staff member from the UK<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some native speakers think of violet as a reddish purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I'd call it a purple with more red in it.<\/p>\n<cite>An Engoo staff member from New Zealand<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Violet is a reddish purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>An Engoo staff member from the US<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>And some native speakers aren\u2019t sure how violet is different from purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It\u2019s just a synonym for purple to me.<\/p>\n<cite>An Engoo staff member from Canada<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I know violet is a shade of purple, but to be honest, I\u2019m not sure which shade it is.<\/p>\n<cite>An Engoo staff member from the US<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In sum, while violet is supposed to refer to the color of the violet flower, some native speakers think of it as a reddish purple while others see it as a blueish purple, and some aren\u2019t even sure what it means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you want to avoid any confusion, you could always just stick to the word \u201cpurple\u201d and say if you\u2019re talking about a \u201creddish purple\u201d or a \u201cbluish purple.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Violet_is_at_the_far_end_of_the_rainbow\"><\/span>#4 Violet is at the far end of the rainbow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look at a rainbow or shine light through a prism, violet is the dark bluish purple color that you see at one end of the range of colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/8v42hBi0HloFpmwR8eJlh8CvBF-QtnAzNZPDxanPkZanLirIR2iuldbYZ5sE8Cf6CsBRUwmD7Qvx9wXHr7FOrLuwGii5qrKvdAunAef72CwEwbNzApiYtzoliISLekPxkGF8Chbd1j4RlB7MWdSkGRT3GmdjemKMnJeNMsz01sEdN9QQmeRDA-el2tDTJw\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These colors coming out of the prism are known as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/visible\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAABfGg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visible<\/a> light <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/spectrum\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAAB_Lg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spectrum<\/a>,\u201d which are the colors of light that we can see with our natural eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They start with red on one side and end with violet. When English speakers talk about that last color, they use the word \u201cviolet\u201d not \u201cpurple.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, some people in English-speaking countries usually use the letters \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gf33ueRXMzQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ROY G BIV<\/a>\u201d to remember all the colors of the rainbow \u2013 the letter \u201cV\u201d at the end stands for \u201cViolet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The V in the term \u201cUV light\u201d also stands for \u201cviolet.\u201d UV stands for \u201cultraviolet\u201d and it means light that we cannot see because it is too violet for our eyes to <a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/detect\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAABigw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detect<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/e-ft8nhLMz0tVyOo1doYuyf0qZLrTTiKOz0pAlKJ6PjIlS0lUpKkF2LyjbogdBFn94pjZDwlXlKQKPzGpHMQR1D193pflBTswUqjoGfoiZwvOPKLrWmDAt9yo76yNfb5eba1svX37dSBZCRwFnDqtpqrP-PqKcltVXyMNGov6vzhPm-4VBFFoYJMmvurig\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Violet_is_also_a_name\"><\/span>#5 Violet is also a name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you won\u2019t find many women named \u201cPurple,\u201d but there are quite a few who are called \u201cViolet.\u201d You can check this list of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Violet_(given_name)#People\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">famous women named Violet<\/a> for a few examples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is probably because violet is also a type of flower, and some women\u2019s names come from the names of flowers.
