To me, It depends on the shade of purple

Yes.

Purple is not a single color. Maybe a spectrum analysis could answer this for a given instance of purple, but that’s not my area of knowledge.

That’s kind of like saying if 1 is 0 + 1 or 2 - 1

It depends on the purple.

It’s a different color, I consider it purple, my favorite part of the color spectrum. Purple can be made with both blue and red, but still is a completely different color. How would you consider water? Like liquid oxygen or wet hydrogen? Or just like water?

Finally some important questions!

Colors are very dependent on cultural context so if people would put their countries along with answers it’d be nice.

I personally think it’s completely separate and not really comparable even though directly translated from Icelandic the color is “violet blue”. From Iceland

Cool red

I consider it not a real color, just a sick joke our brains play on us. I also think it’s an ugly color though, and hate that so many modern applications use it as a main color and don’t allow retheming to something pleasant like blue or green.

A secret third thing

Depends on the context.

I consider it a cool color because I can usually wear it and look good, and generally cannot look good in warm colors. But never thought of it as a red or a blue just purple.
