Purple Doesn’t Exist?! The Color Your Brain Made Up!

Is purple even real? Brace yourself for one of the most mind-blowing facts in science—the color purple doesn’t actually exist in the natural light spectrum! Unlike red, blue, or green, which each have specific light wavelengths, purple is a visual illusion created by your brain. When your eyes detect both red and blue light at the same time (two ends of the visible spectrum), your brain invents a new color—purple—because there’s no “purple” wavelength!

This makes purple what scientists call a non-spectral color—a shade that can’t be found in the rainbow. It only exists in your perception, not in the light itself. That’s why purple has always been associated with mystery, creativity, and the surreal—it literally bends reality as you know it!

So the next time you see a vibrant purple flower, a glowing amethyst crystal, or a neon violet light, remember: your brain is the true artist behind the scene.

In this video, we dive into the science of color perception, the optical illusion behind purple, and how the brain tricks us every day into seeing a color that technically isn’t there.
