"""The reason why purple and violet look similar to us is because they stimulate our cones in a similar way, but most other animals don’t share the same types of cones and “post-processing”. This means that to other animals, purple and violet may look completely different!"""

(Of course the cones are relevant but the difference is very much larger and of a different nature than they make it out to be. Most mammals have only two color cones.)
