The fact these are not ordered by shade bothers me terribly

Russian purple looking nice

Amethyst.

Amethyst and iris. These are pretty much my signature colors. But purples are like doggos: I love them all. 💜

"Klem," you may ask, "do you have a relevant eyeshadow palette in your collection?"

Of course I do!:

Where blurple

Midnight. Hope to get my car wrapped in this color one day.

Purple.

Psychedelic Bright

Indigo and Iris look great to me, that said I love every purple

Asking for my favorite shade of any color with no other context is like asking "what's your favorite music note?"

Violet, Iris, Psychedelic are probably top 3?

Of those, by name? Ultra Violet.

When I would play Saints Row, that one looks closest to the colour I'd pick for all the cars and clothes. (If you're unfamiliar with the series, it's a gang-themed action RPG similar to GTA and made to compete with it when it was exclusive to PlayStation; the original Saints Row was Xbox exclusive, though the rest have been on all platforms. The Third Street Saints gang uses the colour purple primarily, likely because no major gang does.)

Mulberry. I remember picking the ripe berries and then helping to make homemade ink with my great aunt.

No heliotrope? 😠

Amethyst and midnight are tied for me.

I demand you answer

I demand you provide more specifics :) Colour for what?

Cake frosting? Clothing? Wallpaper? Phone case?

TF2 hat colours be like

I find myself liking them all and imagining different scenarios they would work in and their personalities. Am I alone here?

Quite a number of these seem mislabeled, or at least they don't match their namesake objects (e.g. lavender, lilac, grape)

That said, another vote for "iris"

Indigo and ultra violet. I love dark purple

I like psychedelic, violet, and amethyst the most (in that order).

Purples are my absolute favorite, though, so I like most of these.

Lavender or Psychedelic

Midnight is absolutely peak, IMO.

Hard choice for second, place, though.

Hands down psychedelic!

Plum and orchid

Orchid and royal for me.

Ultra Violet. Both in light, and in shade.

Byzantium.

Amethyst

All 👏 purples 👏 are 👏 beautiful 👏👏👏

But today, I'm really feeling that Russian

#a050b8

eggplant

Indigo.

I am partial to blue, and indigo has a pleasing amount of blue, while still being distinctly purple.

Mauve maybe. Hard to choose all so good

Midnight, Iris.

!usernamechecksout@lemmy.zip

Plum all the way.

I sorely miss periwinkle here. Iris and amethyst are close enough.

Wildberry

Plum or royal

From yhose, violet and psychedelic, the rest are too dark or too cold

Iris for sure, that's the color I set in SC2 when I played Zerg

Wildberry

Pastel, pale, lavender

You will know it when I throw it.

Violet!

orchid <3

Iris really pops

I want more then one option. Can I pick the 3 colors from the bisexual flag?

I never claim to like any single colour.
It always has to be in contrast with something and depends upon the context.

For example in a GUI application, if I am making thin lines on black background, I would go with higher Luminance colours.
If I am making 2 large areas side-by-side, separated by colour, then I am most probably going with a very slight difference in Luminance.

Then it also depends upon the screen. I like amber lines on a black background, but have never seen a satisfactory amber on my LCD display. I have seen CRTs do that better. And the most satisfying amber I have seen is that of a CFL at night, where even the colour of the wall behind it, affected the impression (not a screen, but a lighting fixture), so essentially a gradient.

Orchid has the perfect amount of red in it :)

Plum? Or maybe grape?

Psychedelic and Indigo. I can't and won't pick just one of them.

I think I have a shirt in Midnight, so that's my answer.

Half psychedelic, half indigo. Also, I'm darn certain some of these can't be rightly labeled. Either that or the 'average' perception and memory of color names is way off, because I swear I've seen violet as a much darker shade. Also, godddddddang, who put them in this order? It's not alphabetical, it's not in similarity, it's not even in brightness/darkness.

hard to pick but Light feels neat

@LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone ...iris...

I’m a fan of midnight and orchid personally.

@LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone orchid

I love royal

(Im only saying this because you're the moderator)

Indigo, then Iris, then Amethyst

Orchid and/or Palatinate

Plum or Russian

Eggplant and midnight are both very nice

Refused.

Wildberry, I like the softness of it and the reddish undertone. Then it's plum or midnight.

I count like four shades with slight variations.

Bright is probably would be the closest for me, but it also depends on usage. I'm not using it as a wall colour.

As any eastern european would say:

I don't speak woman, purple is purple
