    Deep reddish purple. B: Normalized to [0–255] (byte) The color Byzantium is a particular dark tone of purple. It originates in modern times, and, despite its name, it should not be confused with Tyrian purple ( hue rendering ), the color historically used by Roman and Byzantine emperors. The latter, often also referred to as "Tyrian red", is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_purple

    Shades of purple. There are numerous variations of the color purple, a sampling of which is shown below. In common English usage, purple is a range of hues of color occurring between red and blue. [1] However, the meaning of the term purple is not well defined. There is confusion about the meaning of the terms purple and violet even among ...

  4. Line of purples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_purples

    In color theory, the line of purples or purple boundary is the locus on the edge of the chromaticity diagram formed between extreme spectral red and violet. Except for these endpoints of the line, colors on the line are non-spectral (no monochromatic light source can generate them). Rather, every color on the line is a unique mixture in a ratio ...

  5. Tyrian purple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrian_purple

    The dye is an organic compound of bromine (i.e., an organobromine compound), a class of compounds often found in algae and in some other sea life, but much more rarely found in the biology of land animals. This dye is in contrast to the imitation purple that was commonly produced using cheaper materials than the dyes from the sea snail.

  6. Purple bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_bacteria

    Purple bacteria or purple photosynthetic bacteria are Gram-negative proteobacteria that are phototrophic, capable of producing their own food via photosynthesis. [1] They are pigmented with bacteriochlorophyll a or b, together with various carotenoids, which give them colours ranging between purple, red, brown, and orange.

  7. Biological pigment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_pigment

    Pigment color differs from structural color in that it is the same for all viewing angles, whereas structural color is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually because of multilayer structures. For example, butterfly wings typically contain structural color, although many butterflies have cells that contain pigment as well.

  8. Phylogenetic tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_tree

    Phylogenetics is the study of phylogenetic trees. The main challenge is to find a phylogenetic tree representing optimal evolutionary ancestry between a set of species or taxa. Computational phylogenetics (also phylogeny inference) focuses on the algorithms involved in finding optimal phylogenetic tree in the phylogenetic landscape.

  9. Atypical bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atypical_bacteria

    Atypical bacteria. Atypical bacteria are bacteria that do not get colored by gram-staining but rather remain colorless: they are neither Gram-positive nor Gram-negative. These include the Chlamydiaceae, Legionella and the Mycoplasmataceae (including mycoplasma and ureaplasma ); the Spirochetes and Rickettsiaceae are also often considered atypical.
