That's kind of like saying if 1 is 0 + 1 or 2 - 1
Purple is a kind of red to me.
There are a lot of shades that people call purple
Yes.
Purple is not a single color. Maybe a spectrum analysis could answer this for a given instance of purple, but that's not my area of knowledge.
Specifically, purple is not a wavelength, unlike red(s) at ~700nm and blue(s) at ~400nm.
Purple is what human eyes see when the blue and red cones are both stimulated by their respective colours of light.
I like that some people are so confident in their incorrect understanding of something that they'll downvote the correct answer.
What you said is correct.
