Today I received my bottle of Akkerman Simplisties Violet from the friendly people over at Vanness!!! BTW the packing was great, the shipping was fast and the little Rhodia notebook was a nice surprise. :clap2:
Although this is not a review (I'll try that later) I was eager to compare this color with my other purple inks. So here it is... Apologies for the crappy iPhone pic, but I couldn't find my camera. Paper is Black n' Red and lettering is Diamine Sapphire.

As you can see, this color is bluer than Monblanc Lavender but redder than Waterman Purple. There is no mistaking this ink... it is not blue nor is it burgundy: it is a true purple ink. I love it!!! :fans:
PS: The bottle is simply awesome.
