Purple / Violet
紫 is the single-character Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean title for the color violet/purple.
The difference between violet and purple is not really distinguished in Asian languages. However, sometimes a character for “light” is added to the front of this one, which might be closer to the meaning of violet.
Purple / Violet
(2 character version)
紫色 is the two-character Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean title for the color violet/purple.
The second character means “color,” so this literally means “violet color.”
It's more common to add the “color character” in Asian languages than to say “color” after the name of the color in English. Therefore, this is a natural way to express “violet” in Asian languages.
Violet Color
紺 is a slightly-rare Chinese and old Korean title for the color violet or purple.
In Japanese, this refers to a very deep blue color.
