Is there a reason that hypnotists in cartoons always wear purple?

There's this theory that bold, primary colors are "heroic" colors that people naturally see as belonging to major figures. Meanwhile there's something about secondary colors that resonates with some kind of "bad" association in people. Also, green and purple are associated with bruises and sickness.

It's not just hypnotists, but actually a pretty large number of old Marvel villains have prominent green and purple colors. And the Hulk, who is sometimes a hero sometimes a villain, is the only hero to have green and purple.

I completely forgot about that color theory for comic heroes and villains
