Want to know something freaky? Violet doesn't contain any red. I'm talking about the deep shade of blue on the rainbow. When your eyes see light with a frequency beyond blue, they start detecting phantom red. Literally, when your blue cones detect that frequency, your red cones also get activated. This effect is replicated in digital cameras, so that the pictures you take with your phone look right.
