Yeah I get the same impression, it's just that I don't think I could recognise those as Purple and Violet even in non-oversaturated form, to me it's all just different nameless hues of blue.

I'm not so sure about that. The left side appears _overwhelmingly_ purple, and the right side looks _very_ blue. Have you tried something like the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test?

Thanks, that was an interesting test. I guess my feeling of "I'm slightly colourblind" is correct. I don't seem to have that many problems with blue though.
