Just one: violet (#EE82EE), a light orchid-violet. It is the only W3C/CSS named color beginning with V.

Two recent ones: Very Peri (#6667AB), a periwinkle blue-violet that was Pantone’s 2022 Color of the Year, and Viva Magenta (#BE3455), the 2023 Color of the Year.

The CSS keyword violet (#EE82EE) is a soft orchid tone, while the bright spectral violets — color-wheel violet (#7F00FF) and electric violet (#8F00FF) — are far more saturated. Each is a distinct cataloged value.

Viridian (#40826D) is a blue-green chromium-oxide pigment prized by painters since the 19th century for being stable and non-toxic, unlike the earlier copper greens.

Catalogs reuse names like “Violet” or “Venetian Red” for different hex values. Rather than keep bare numbers, each variant carries a short tag (for example Electric, Deep, Color Wheel) so the canonical version keeps the bare name.
