Yes.
Purple is not a single color. Maybe a spectrum analysis could answer this for a given instance of purple, but that’s not my area of knowledge.
Specifically, purple is not a wavelength, unlike red(s) at ~700nm and blue(s) at ~400nm.
Purple is what human eyes see when the blue and red cones are both stimulated by their respective colours of light.
I like that some people are so confident in their incorrect understanding of something that they’ll downvote the correct answer.
What you said is correct.
Urgh, I go to sleep, wake up, read soooooo much awful wrongness.
Thanks for the vote of

So what would be the color created by a wavelength of 550nm?
Right, indigo is a color (~425nm), violet is a color (~400nm), purple is typically a blend of colors.

Fun fact: blends of colours are also colours.
Nu uh!
Okay, poor choice of words by me. Wavelength color vs what the eyes see.
No worries, sorry for the snark. I find colour fascinating, like, when you dream of a purple dinosaur that’s colour without any light at all.
“Would you consider the middle to be closer to one side, or the other?”
obviously it is D-flat C-sharp sucks.
That’s kind of like saying if 1 is 0 + 1 or 2 - 1
Depends on the shade! There are warmer purples that are closer to red, and cooler purples that are closer to blue

Yes
It depends on the purple.
Depends on what shade of purple
It’s anti-green
It’s a different color, I consider it purple, my favorite part of the color spectrum. Purple can be made with both blue and red, but still is a completely different color. How would you consider water? Like liquid oxygen or wet hydrogen? Or just like water?
Purple is a group of colours in between of blue and red, but unlike Indigo is leaning toward red (hot).
Is 0 nothing or the sum of all numbers?
Yes
It doesn’t even exist.
Finally some important questions!
I consider it not a real color, just a sick joke our brains play on us. I also think it’s an ugly color though, and hate that so many modern applications use it as a main color and don’t allow retheming to something pleasant like blue or green.
Lukewarm purple?
Cool red
