- Gran reserva purple

- Autumn dusk

- Aurum purpura

- Nebula field

- Mauve journey

- Orchid feel

- Purpura Clásico

- Vinifera purpurea

- Deja mauve

- Grape flow

- Sunlite violet

- Oasis by night

-...

If I think of another one that doesn't completely sound like a joke (to me, anyways), I will post it.

We've been struggling to come up with an adequate name for this purple. We love the color, but we're trying to come up with something that really captures it. It is a "purple's purple".

 

List your color description here, and if we choose it (and you were first to place it in this thread) - we'll give you one of these in fountain pen with your choice of nib. We'll let it run for a week or two, or until the thread slows down.

 

This is the Model 14 magnet pen by the way, caps and posts by using a rare earth magnet in the cap. I believe there is a review or two of it on this site.

 

We always keep Classic Black in the line, but other Special Edition colors (last a year or two in production for each) have been Dark Cinnamon Red (retired) , Performance Yellow, and Cobalt Blue.

 

 

Here is a photograph with a fairly good representation of the color -

Yeah, but I keep trying to forget. :ltcapd:

[sabriel]

Spenser's Purple (after Edmund Spenser of the Faerie Queen fame since someone else mentioned the color of the pen is more of a faerie dust and also ties in well with Spencerian Writing)

 

Persephone (with the allusions to Pomegranate and the myths of the Greek Underworld)

Oh my, I'm going to have to come up with something good - that is one gorgeous pen!

Maybe it's just the photo or my monitor, but I look at the pen and I think "yep, that's Cordovan all right"

Of those mentioned so far, Aubergine and Mulberry nail it for me. Yes, I'm actually recommending another's name.

 

To me that is a distinctive, classy pen and color. I'd go with something formal:

 

 

Lydian Purple (Lydia was a seller of purple in the New Testament--it was the color of royalty)

Midnight Plum

 

and for fun...

Bing Cherry

[indigirl]

dark wine

 

cherry cordial

 

i also liked black cherry, suggested somewhere up-thread.
