Violet (named after the flower at the short- Wavelength end of the Visible Spectrum ,
approximately 420-380 ).

True spectral violet cannot be reproduced on a computer screen because it is out of the RGB Color Space . You can see the color by looking at the reflection of a fluorescent tube in a Compact Disc . This works because the CD functions as a Diffraction Grating , and a Fluorescent Lamp generally has a peak at 435.833nm (from Mercury ), as is visible on the Fluorescent Lamp Spectrum ; this might be classed as Indigo .
