Navy and Purple need little explanation.

Their names point firmly to one family.

The other four labels are more revealing. Royal Blue stays direct, but Slate Blue and Medium Slate Blue add a gray-violet qualification. Blue Violet names both sides at once.

That mixed vocabulary is the subject here. The palette records how people classify close colors, not a recipe for blending them.
