Purple Aura: Meaning, and Whether the Colour Even Exists

Q: Is Purple a real colour of light?

No. There is no wavelength that produces Purple — the eye and brain construct it from other frequencies, which is why it never appears as a band in a rainbow. That does not make the reading wrong, but it does mean the colour is a perception rather than a measurement.

Purple and violet are not the same thing, and this is where most sources blur them. Violet is a real wavelength at the end of the spectrum; purple is a mixture of red and blue with no single frequency. The crown chakra is usually given as purple, which makes the most spiritual colour in the system a non-spectral one.

Tradition, not measurement. What aura cameras actually record →

Light and dark purple

Red and blue mixed, unlike violet which is a single frequency — so there is no frequency for a shade to shift. Both versions are that same mixture at different brightness.

Light purple

Purple has no wavelength to begin with, so its light version is a mixture diluted further with white. There is nothing to measure in either. Read as attention turned to what cannot be measured held more lightly.

Dark purple

A darker mixture, still with no single frequency behind it. Darkness here is reduced brightness rather than a different colour. Read as meaning invented to avoid the ordinary — the strained version.
