Sorry that was my mistake, as i ended up looking at this[1] after going through
the page. :D

But clearly in the image, it shows that purple is a secondary color between red
and blue, which is how the current color palette has, and voilet is the color
between purple and blue, while the current color palette has indigo in the
position. So as Stuart was mentioning in comment 8, the main issue is that we
are not using standard base colors in the palette, which is causing problems in
the naming. So having Purple (secondary color) follow Red (primary color)
breaks the RYB color scheme that the palette follows.

I dont see this as the issue, as according to RYB purple is a mix of red and
blue and voilet is a mix of purple and blue. But if you check RGB, voilet is
also a mix of magenta and blue.
