PURPLE – VIOLET - MAGENTA:
Colorblind people can’t see purple, violet, and magenta colors perfectly, and we usually see them as blue.
Commonly, people think about pigment, and in that case, the color you get when mixing blue and red would be purple.
Purple is associated with luxury, power, wisdom, creativity, and magic. When you look at purple in a psychological manner, it is the color that balances red and blue.
Red tends to bring intensity and energy to the color, while blue brings relaxation and stability; together, they make a brilliant color that balances red and blue.

However, if you are referring to additive color (light), then the result of mixing red and blue light would be magenta.
In paint, mixing primary red and primary blue in equal amounts will give you a deep purple. It might even be very dark in comparison to what you are used to calling purple.
It’s amazing to know that Purple objects are “red and blue at the same time.
The difference between purple and violet is that violet is on the blue side of purple and is a deeper color than purple.
Purple is more reddish and saturated, while violet is more bluish and less saturated.
In the color wheel historically used by painters, Violet is located between blue and purple.
If we combine blue with violet we will have indigo.
But on the other hand, Magenta is a color in between red and purple, or pink and purple. Sometimes it is confused with pink or purple. It's defined as purplish-red, reddish-purple, or mauve-crimson.
