If roses are red and violets are blue, why do we have colours like rose and violet too?

There are many facets of the color red. Some of them delve a bit into the purple spectrum, but are still considered red.

Red onions come in many varieties but they have one thing in common, they are usually very sweet and can be eaten raw. They are not only used to add flavor but to add beautiful bright color to dishes as well.

Red is a color that can go towards blue or orange and still be called red.

When people name something by color, they tend to navigate towards primary colors. Same as white people arent really white and asians arent really yellow and black people arent really black.
