I see Blue-Violet is listed as a color for one set:
 
Set No: 8781  Name: Castle of Morcia
* 
8781-1 (Inv) Castle of Morcia
594 Parts, 8 Minifigures, 5 Gear, 2004
Sets: Castle: Knights Kingdom II

Is it really a unique color?

Yes. I know I had some in my shop but may have sold them all. It is definitely
different than any other color and once you see it, you'll know.

Yes it was, but I couldn't find a color comparison photo online. I was rather
fond of the color back in the early 2000s.

I own every color of 1 x 1 round brick (except the Belville exclusive and therefore
hard to get dark pink) and I can see a clear difference between blue and blue-violet
(I must have scored my blue-violet example from a local seller since I don't
own any of the Knights Kingdom sets, I can't find any record of ever buying
blue-violet in any of my bricklink order emails and blue-violet as a color was
discontinued long before I was buying from LEGO Bricks & Pieces online)
