indigo can also be described as blue-violet, it goes between blue and violet because it is a mixture of those two colors.

The color chart is arranged by wavelength of light and not by how light or dark the colors are.

Indigo is a color designation, not a brightness designation. Indigo is sort of a blue-violet and, hence, belongs between blue and violet
