This red-violet color, called artist's purple by artists, is the pigment color that would be on a pigment color color wheel between pigment violet and pigment (process) magenta. In the Munsell color system, this color at the maximum chroma of 12 is called Red-Purple.
 
Artists pigments and colored pencils labeled as purple are colored the red-violet color shown at right.

This color, electric purple, is precisely halfway between violet and magenta and thus fits the artistic definition of purple.[8]
 
Using additive colors such as those on computer screens, it is possible to create a much brighter purple than with pigments where the mixing subtracts frequencies from the component primary colors.
 
The equivalent color on a computer to the pigment color red-violet shown above would be this electric purple, i.e. the much brighter purple you can see reproduced on the screen of an electronic computer.
 
This color is pure purple conceived as computer artists conceive it, as the pure chroma on the computer screen color wheel halfway between electric violet and electric magenta.
 
Thus, electric purple is the purest and brightest purple that it is possible to display on a computer screen.
