> Red and blue make PURPLE

You’re wrong, like almost every painter.

Red + Blue = Magenta.

I'm talking about PIGMENTS that make up the tube of paint, pastel, etc.! A single pigment paint is a different topic.

But..........NO, magenta is only ONE shade that red and blue makes.

Magenta is far more red based ( with pink overtones ) than purple is. Magenta is a tertiary color.

Depends on the ratios of the colors.
