Until you cook them. Then they’re purple-ly clear.
or you cook them with a base, like baking soda, then they turn green
Is this that “alchemy” thing I’ve heard so much about?
Or soak them in vinegar and they turn pink and make a delicious sandwich topping.
Atomic Purple
There was no word for purple back then.
The future is now old man. Free the onion
And yet they had purple onions. Curious.
Tor?

They can be purplish in some growth stages but on the whole they are a deep red, a crimson. Unless my eyes are just broken.

About half of the pictures I see are Purple.
None of those are red. They’re all close to red, but none of them are actually red.
In my native language it’s actually called purple onion.

Not my cleanest work but it’s fine if you don’t look too close
I can. Easily. But then, I have color perception deficiency. But do not luck ability to argue as compensation.
And gross. Petition to replace all onions with their vastly superior cousins, the shallot.
But pickled red onions are the shit.

Pickled anything is shit. That disgusting vinegar stench makes me retch.
Purple isn’t a real color. Red + Blue on the color spectrum is Green.
Yeah, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a “real” color.
Literally does… There’s a number of colors that we perceive that are fictitious. This is well known in color theory. https://grantsonnex.com/why-purple-doesnt-exist/ Don’t believe me? That’s fine. Listen to an actual artist who’s whole job it is to understand colors. There is no “purple” on the light spectrum. And if you’re the type to say violet=purple… then here you go! https://jakubmarian.com/difference-between-violet-and-purple/
If we cannot define a color by a wavelength… then it’s a color we have to define by how it’s perceived. That’s not a “true” or “real” color. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or cannot be perceived, but that it only exists because we perceive it and wouldn’t otherwise.
“Brown” is also the same problem. Brown only exists in the context of light and darkness. You cannot just produce “Brown” light. You can produce vary levels of “Dark” orange… and in the context of a dark or light background you’ll either see it as orange or brown.
Violet is purple.

No need to be such an asshole about it. Keep that on reddit.
And just like reddit… they could have actually read the post. But they didn’t. So it looks like we’re all redditors here.
Interesting… So they’re two different colors right?
So purple is a color.
I think it’s better to make the distinction between color and light wavelenght instead of just saying purple isn’t real.
