 Indigo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indigo (or spectral indigo) is the color on the spectrum between 440 and 420 nanometres in wavelength, placing it between blue and violet.
Indigo and violet are different from purple (as defined by chromaticians [color scientists]) which does not exist on the electromagnetic spectrum and which can be achieved using additive primary colors by mixing blue light with a red light.
Of all the pure chromas, indigo has what chromaticians call the highest value, i.e., indigo is intrinsically the darkest of the colors on the color wheel, just as yellow has the lowest value of all the colors on the color wheel, i.e., yellow is the lightest pure chroma on the color wheel.
