Is there a difference between violet and purple?
I asked the same in another sentence discussion. I think purple should be accepted.
Purple usually refers to a group or colors that encompass the blue/red blends in the color spectrum. Violet is a particular hue and tone of that spectrum. I am getting the impression that in Ukrainian, "фіолетовий" is used for the broad spectrum
Yes
Some places accept "shoes" some only take "sneakers" please be consistent
Agreed. Duolingo ought to accept "Where are your violet shoes?"
where are your purple sneakers?
No one says violet normally!
