What color do red and purple make?

When you’re mixing paint, red and purple make a redder hue of purple, often called red-purple or red-violet. Mixing pure red light with purple light (e.g., on a computer monitor) produces a magenta or reddish-purple color—since purple light is already a mix of red and blue, you’re effectively combining red + red + blue.
