Mixing red and blue produces the color purple. The exact shade of purple can vary depending on the proportions of red and blue used in the mix.
When we mix Red Color and Blue Color, it will give Violet Color.
In both RYB (Red, Yellow, Blue) and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color models, Red color and Blue color are considered primary colors. The mixture of these sets of colors or the combination of any two colors from the color models produces another color. Here, two primary colors Red and Blue are mixed to produce the Violet color which is the secondary color. Sometimes, the mixture of these two primary colors produces Purple color.
If you mix 50 percent of Red paint and 50% of Blue paint exactly then it will give Violet or sometimes it will give Purple color depending upon the nature of the other two colors. This is because there are different shades of Red color and different shades of Blue color. If you exactly pick the default Red color i.e., #FF0000 as in Hex Code or RGB(255,0,0), and the default Blue color i.e., #0000FF as in Hex Code or RGB(0,0,255) then it will provide the expected Violet color without having the shades of other colors.
