--- Comment #8 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Purple and Violet are kind of a mess, as Jay shows reversing the columns would
not work--we've got a really bad base color for both in the standard.soc--but
then most of the base colors are off Hue. We are bouncing all over the hues of
the RGB additive color wheel. How theoretically correct should the standard.soc
be? 

None the less, we've set Purple to HSV (268°, 69%, 57%) and Violet to HSV
(310°, 79%, 64%). The RGB additive color theory suggests we have this wrong if
we accept the Wikipedia definitions:

Purple: RGB #800080 (128, 0, 128), HSV (300°, 100%, 50%)

Violet: RGB #7F00FF (128, 0, 255), HSV (270°, 100%, 100%)


Woring with RGB HSV/B -- the Violet(s) should be out the 270° radial, and the
Purple(s) out the 300° "Magenta" radial. And build a 

We do pickup the 270° color hue for Violet in the tonal.soc--matching theory at
the 68% saturation, but interestingly in the html.soc the X11/HTML/SVG Violet
is out the 300° radial with most of the "Purple, violet, and magenta colors".
