Because violet light is closer to UV and X-ray light than the other colors, is violet light at all more likely to give someone cancer?

The key to understanding the damage caused by photon radiation (light and electromagnetic radiation) is whether or not it is capable of creating ionization when it impacts another material. Ionization is when an electron is stripped from an atom, which causes it to become charged and reactive, and possible to break apart whatever molecule it's part of. The molecule of most concern is DNA. Our bodies are quite good a repairing or killing off cells that have mutated or broken DNA, but not perfect. Roll those dice too many times and your risk for a skin cancer increases.

Violet/blue (visible) light is not at a high enough energy level to ionize the elements that make up animal skin/tissue. UVA and UVB are.
