Violets and purples can be Quinacridone, Cobalt, Dioxazine, Manganese, Mars (iron oxide), Permanent (Inanthadon/Quinacridone), Ultramarine (Polyulfide of Sodium-Alumino-Silicate), Medium Violet (Titanium Dioxide Rutile/Quinacridone), Light Violet (Carbzole Dioxazine/Titanium Dioxide Rutile/Quinacridone).
