The names of "Violet" and "Purple" on the new "standard" colour palette seem
counter-intuitive. Admittedly there's a lot of confusion regarding these two
terms (at least when not speaking of electromagnetic spectrum), but most
sources that do distinguish them, seem to agree that purple is closer to red
and violet is closer to blue. (We can ignore violet being a "real colour" at
one end of the visible spectrum, since on RGB colourspace it's not.)

Wikipedia: "In the traditional color wheel used by painters, violet and purple
are both placed between red and blue. Purple occupies the space closer to red,
between crimson and violet. Violet is closer to blue, and usually less intense
and bright than purple."

Note that the colours themselves in the palette are fine, only their names
should be switched. Applies also to "Light/Dark Violet/Purple".
