blue violet

Blue violet is a color that sits between blue and violet on the spectrum, leaning more toward purple than pure blue.

It's one of those hues that different people might call blue or purple depending on their perception, making it a frequent subject of the "is it blue or purple?" debate.

The term also refers to a common North American wildflower (Viola sororia) with petals in this distinctive shade.

The crayons included both violet and blue violet.
