    Default Purple/violet ink suggestions?

    I'm on the hunt for a vibrant purple or violet ink. Monochromatic or shimmer is a bonus!
    Shown are Troublemaker Foxglove & Diamine Vivaldi.
    I've thought about trying Diamine Purple Pazzazz too for the shimmer...

    Open to ideas!
    Thanks

    Waterman tender purple (lovely, safe ink)
    I'm also enjoying TWSBI Royal Purple at the moment.

    I'm not big on shimmer - it seems to end up on me rather than the paper (though I do make an exception for Herbin's Vert Atlantide).

    For silver shimmer you can get a sample ofAmethyst de l'Oural...It's dark and smoky....
    As for more vibrant, you can either get J. Herbin Violette Pensée or a look a like, Noodler's North African Violet....
    Noodler's North African violet is water resistant, though not colour fast

    P.W. Akkerman Voorhout Violet is a nice one, can also produce some sheen in the right condition.

    (Pelikan 400NN - F ..... P.W. Akkerman Voorhout Violet, Schmincke Calligraphy Guache White, Rotring Zeichentusche Weiß)

    Also Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa is nice (IG ink)

    What I can also recommend is Sheaffer Skrip Purple:

    Or if you still can get a bottle Private Reserve Tanzanite

    As you mentioned Purple Pazzazz, this is also cool but a shimmering ink.



    (Pelikan M200 Demonstrator - M italic ..... Diamine Purple Pazzazz)



    (Pelikan M200 Demonstrator - M italic ..... Diamine Purple Pazzazz)


    And not to forget Rohrer & Klingner Solferino



    (Pelikan 400 Green Striated - OM ..... Rohrer & Klingner Solferino)

    R&K Solferino and R&K Cassia



    And finally Pelikan 4001 Violet

    I'm a fan of Sailor Shigure, but it's probably not vibrant enough.

    Lots of great suggestions for purple here! You might want to visit Mountain of Ink for reviews of various purple inks: https://www.mountainofink.com/

    FYI, if you want vibrant, don’t go for Diamine Vivaldi — it’s a very muted, purplish gray.

    J Herbin Violette Pensée.

    A vibrant ink, it's reminiscent of the methyl violet-based ink that French schools used to teach cursive writing.
