I've given up on my quests to "find an ink that looks like..." - I've decided they don't exist, and I'm happier just enjoying the ink I've got for its own virtues.    But I wish you luck and many enjoyable inks while pursuing your quest!

 

Oh, I hear you but just because a darker purple ink doesn't look like dark purple yams doesn't mean that I don't like the color! It's just that, given this is a difficult to obtain ink (which means $$$, generally), it is not worth it to me just to satisfy my (somewhat odd, if I do say so myself!) quest since it's not likely to get much use from me.

  (Yeah, I definitely wasn't trying to encourage you to buy this.  I agree with not getting an ink you know won't get much use.)

My 1950's crayon box ...that was violet...purple is bluer.

But I have that trouble with Wiki also.....

Pelikan 4001's violet is violet.

DA's Aubergine is one of my purples.

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 310µm.
