Hi All,

Fedora 41
rakudo-pkg-2024.7.0-01.x86_64
bash-5.2.32-1.fc41.x86_64

I am looking at
    https://metacpan.org/pod/Term::ANSIColor

trying to figure out how to print in dark purple.
I have see dnf5 do this, so I know it is possible.

Now one of the hurdles is that purple is not an
actual color.  It does not appear on a white
light spectrum break out.  Purple is a manifestation
of our brains interpreting a mixture of red and blue.

So how do I mix red and blue to get dark purple?

Many thanks,
