Inky T O D - Color Swatches - Violet - Purple - Please Post Your Pictures And Tell Us Your Thoughts

[amberleadavis]

Members ask ... What is the best PURPLE or VIOLET for (insert purpose). This thread is not for comparisons or detailed reviews. Merely for you to show us some of your samples.

 

Also, some purples are actually burgundy or pink so let's not get to crazy with eliminating colors. If it looks Red to you, put it here.

 

 

BTW, Blue was here.

Brown was there.

Red was in the woods.

Did you ask about violet (or was it vioLeNt) purples?

Green was leafing us.

Orange is bouncing around.

Black is back.

Here be Pink.

Yellow is Spot On.

Jim says we must share our Black-n-Blues or was it Blue-Blacks?

On 4/26/21 I've started hiding my posts with missing images and I've been uploading the images to the new FPN server.  If you don't see the image in the first few pages, look towards the end. I've also tried to ad the names to the images so that these are searchable.

Nostalgic Impressions company purple, I bought this for the wonderful bottle. It has a gray sheen.  It is however brutal to clean out of a pen.

Noodler's North African Violet (NAV) diluted.  BTW, Noodler's NAV and Midway Blue are an amazing mix.

Love Sacbiosa and, for some reason have a soft spot for Purple Wumpum. Hardly ever use the other two though.

I'm lucky enough to have some "Ink of Witch" but not in a pen. I'll try and dip some tomorrow.

Thank you!

I fell in love with this ink when I saw Saskia_Madding's writing samples of it, so I was excited to receive my bottle this weekend. I usually don't like purple for a full page of notes, but this one is the exception. I've been playing with the ink all day and there's something about the color and the flow that has me hearing Nina Simone singing "I put a spell on you," so I figured why not I know Sailor already has an Ink of the Witch for Bung Box, but I think this Black Purple that they made for SankoDo is the witchy winner in my book
