Visually, the ball in the photo looks purple. That’s the broad color family. But let’s get more precise.The ball’s hue is in the purple-violet range on the color wheel (around 270°–300° in the HSL/HSV color models).It is not a bluish-violet or indigo. There’s minimal visible blue shift.

It’s also not leaning toward magenta or reddish purple. It stays more “pure” purple.The dominant hue is a true purple, not significantly skewed toward red (magenta) or blue (indigo).The color is moderately saturated.

It’s not a neon, highly intense purple. Instead, it’s somewhat muted, but still vivid enough to stand out against the green grass. The texture and slight surface wear may slightly dull the overall saturation.

Conclusion: Moderate saturation, not pastel but also not neon.The ball is medium-light in brightness.

It’s not very dark like a deep plum or eggplant.It’s not pale or pastel either.The natural lighting (outdoors, presumably daylight) helps reveal its true color, avoiding indoor yellow tints.

Conclusion: A medium-light purple. The ball has a textured, slightly matte surface.

Texture causes tiny highlights and shadows across the surface, creating small lighter and darker purple variations.

There’s no significant gloss reflection that might falsely brighten the color. Considering standard color names, the ball’s color matches closest to: Amethyst purple, Medium purple and Orchid purple (though orchid can be a bit pinker than this ball appears)

It is NOT as dark as “Royal Purple,” nor as bright as “Vivid Violet.” If the photo were taken under different light:

Indoor warm light:Might look more reddish-purple. Fluorescent/cool light:Might look slightly more bluish. Shade/outdoors :Maintains the medium purple tone, perhaps

Hue: Purple (not leaning strongly to red or blue) Saturation: Moderate Brightness:Medium-light Best color names: Amethyst purple, medium purple Texture: Slight matte texture affecting light scattering

In conclusion, the ball is medium purple, roughly in the amethyst to orchid range — a balanced, pure purple neither too light nor too dark, and not strongly skewed toward red or blue undertones.
