Depends on the pen and depends on the paper. To me, it's a very dusty purple. Celebrating the variations!

Just did a fill of PdL last week... mine's now looking brown!

 

My bottle could be an early batch.

I like L'Amant. I was offered a bottle of it and instead requested a neon green. I regret that choice.

L'Amant is my favorite purple right now. It leans to the red side, but the blue side is visible, too. Love the complexity.

Nice collection. Could you perhaps make a picture of the sailor shigure ink in a fine/ extra fine nib? I am considering buying it for my saibi togi.

[amberleadavis]

Shiguire is awesome.

Ah, the quiet desperation of finding the right color. I have my mind's eye, as always, but I can't quite translate it. http://www.colourlovers.com/img/8D02B3/130/110/Saints_Purple.png?ic=1

Roughly that- it's Saints purple from the Saint's Row games. As odd as it sounds, the Saints have gotten me through some tough times, and I'd like a match to it. There used to be a site online where you could input a hex or pantone color and it would find the closest ink to it, but I can't find the bloody thing again.

The color posted (as it appears on my monitor) reminds me very much of Monteverde Purple:

 

 

Close? Or not at all?

Not bad, not bad at all! It's complicated by the games using slightly different shades at times, the only constant is purple. As weird as it may sound, those games (particularly installments 3 and 4) have helped me through some depressive episodes.

That’s R&K Solferino!

Monteverde Mulberry Noir. I sampled this ink while I was at the LA Pen Show. I volunteered to help Amberlea Davis as a facilitator during her talk about pen and ink, and how to find a combination that suits your personality. There were five Monteverde pens, with different nibs each, all filled with this ink for the audience to try and compare.

 

Mulberry Noir is a really deep dark purple. It has some green sheen in this sample on Clairefontaine. I like it.

I LOVE this ink. It appears lighter in the swab, in the finer nibs, you can pretend that it is black because it lovely and dark. I think it is more blue than purple, but it is a wonderful blurple.

This is my card entry for Diamine Imperial Purple. Many thanks to my pen pal for sending me a cartridge!

 

Pen is Jinhao 992, paper is Rhodia pad 80g/m.

 

 

Diamine Imperial Purple is a dark purple. It's a wet, lubricating ink as is per usual with Diamine inks, at least the standard line. It bleeds through cheap notebooks such as Pigna and Blasetti, but it's wonderfully well-behaved with Fabriano, Rhodia and Clairefontaine. Just don't expect any sheen on Fabriano. Rhodia and Clairefontaine show it off nicely though.
