Indigo
Indigo is the
color on the
electromagnetic spectrum between about 450 and 420
nm in
wavelength, placing it between
blue and
violet. Color scientists do not usually recognize indigo as a significant color category, and generally classify wavelengths shorter than about 450 nm as violet.Indigo and violet are different from
purple, which cannot be seen on the electromagnetic spectrum but can be achieved by mixing
blue light with
red light.One can see spectral indigo by looking at the reflection of a fluorescent tube in a non-recordable
compact disc. This works because the CD functions as a
diffraction grating, and a
fluorescent lamp generally has a peak at 435.833 nm (from
mercury), as is visible on the fluorescent lamp spectrum.
