I get that, during casual conversation etc. But what if there's a bunch of violet and purple flowers and they pick a violet one? The distinction can matter and knowing it can be useful. You can't use other people's ignorance as an excuse.

Even crayon companies make both for a reason JS :P

If you only provide the color, regardless which one, there would be a high risk of them choosing the wrong because they are so visually similar. so you would of course provide further physical description that would help distinguish the correct flower.
