I'm English and this is the first time I've heard of the colour mauve. Why learn this and not purple?
Apparently the Romanian word that literately translates as purple ('purpuriu') is used a lot less than 'mov'. Strange how languages work sometimes. Apparently your native language influences how you perceive colors. Russian has two words for separate shades of blue. For non-Russians, that might seem unnecessary, but to Russians it might be weird that other languages use the same word for two colors.
