It's a nice purple.

A simple one too - it would be on a 216 colour pallete using six values for each of R, G and B.

R = 1/5

G = 2/5

B = 3/5

Edit: of course that makes sense it is probably a "web safe" one

If it's such a simple combination, I wonder why it wasn't officially named until 2014. CSS has had names for all sorts of weird colors since forever.

Maybe it wasn’t named so that long after people like me pass from memory for good, people will still speak of Rebecca and of the love we showed her.
