That colour is magenta: when you combine red and blue light. RGB screen pixels are unable to represent violet as this wavelength is not available because it would require LEDs with shorter wavelengths than blue.

In optics there is a clear distinction between violet and purple, and magenta is a kind of purple while violet is not.
But in painting, printing and computer graphics, both refer to colours made by mixing red and blue, with violet having a lower proportion of red.
