The color terms violet and purple have different meanings even among native English speakers in e.g. the United Kingdom and the United States. Therefore, the term Red-violet is contradictory by definition to most speakers in the United Kingdom and many other countries where violet by definition is limited to blue-dominated colors between blue and red. But in countries like the United States, the term Red-violet does make sense in the local color vocabulary, and then refers to a rich color of high medium saturation about 3/4 of the way between red and magenta, closer to magenta than to red. In American English this color term is sometimes used in color theory as one of the purple colors—a non-spectral color between red and violet that is a deep version of a color on the line of purples on the CIE chromaticity diagram. Both its saturation and brightness falling short of 100%, red-violet is not a pure chroma. There is a color of similar hue that, however, comes close to being a pure chroma: process magenta. The pure chroma color composed of equal parts of magenta and red is called rose.

Shades of brown can be produced by combining red, yellow, and black pigments, or by a combination of orange and black—as can be seen in the color box at right. In the RGB color model used to create all the colors on computer and television screens, brown is made by combining red and green light at different intensities. Brown color names are often not very precise, and some shades, such as beige, can refer to lighter shades of yellow and red rather than darker ones. The commonality is that such colors are less saturated than colors perceived to be orange. Browns are usually described as light or dark, reddish, yellowish, or gray-brown. There are no standardized names for shades of brown; the same shade may have different names on different color lists, and sometimes the one name can refer to several very different colors. The X11 color list of web colors lists seventeen different shades of brown, but the complete list of browns is much longer.
