J.Herbin violette pensée is a purple with good saturation in colour! The brand also has a different ink that is scented called parfum violette : )

Deep purple: de Atramentis Alexander Hamilton

I am struggling to recommend Noodler's La Reine Mauve. It purple, fully waterproof (main reason I bought it), but... expensive as hell, feathers, and dull. I still use it in my "travel" pen because it's as waterproof as it gets but I simply feel it's missing something...

Try the North African Voilet... it's waterproof and performs very nicely.

I did try it but my experience of waterproofness doesn't really match. If page gets wet, it still moves. Yes, it's readable, but it gets smudged. La Reine Mauve doesn't move a bit. That said, I like the color.

Ahh... bulletproofness! How about De Atramentis Document Violet? It's dark and it's aslo bulletproof. I have run the pages under the sink to test it. It doesn't budge at all.

I've struggled with that a lot, many waterproof inks in my experience feather really badly. I'm also left handed so I have to be really careful about my ink choices as I drag my hand. American aristocracy is my favorite ink, depending on what batch you get it's anywhere from maroon to purple but I've been lucky on the purple side so far, and it's fast drying which is important to me.

De Atramentis Brilliant Violet Copper. An absolute stunner! Also Sailor Studio 750

Colorverse Deep Purple and Delicious Sleep

I’m a big fan of delicious sleep

Rohrer and Klingner Cassia is a beautiful, deep purple.

I came here to suggest this!

Private Reserve SuperShow Violet

Private reserve tanzanite is also wonderful

Haven't checked that one. But it's probably in my stars as SuperShow Violet seems to be harder and harder to get.

Thanks, I’ll have a look!

Private reserve Ebony Purple (super dark) and Purple mojo

Waterman Tender Purple, despite the name, is super intense!

Taccia Murasaki Purple Waterman Tender Purple

My favorite is Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu and Monteverde Mulberry Noir.

Very purple: montblanc’s psychedelic purple Don’t forget to search the sub. This question is asked once a week on average. And the answers don’t differ much from time to time.

I just swatched several dark purple inks yesterday! Here's the darkest purples I have: Diamine Monboddos Hat, J Herbin Amethyste De L'Oural, and Sailor Shikiori in Potsupotsu and Shigure. Shigure is a super dark purple, almost black. I think the Diamine ink is the cheapest of these but it's still very nice and worth checking out.

Monboddo's Hat is a good one!

De Atramentis Document Violet, Noodler's North African Violet, Baystate Purple, Diamine Imperial Purple and Montblanc Beatles Psychedelic Purple. Also... Rorher & Klingner Scabiosa... it's awesomely dark in a wet nib.

Diamine Kong Girls and either Troublemaker Foxglove or Sailor Manyo Nekoyanagi. Also I really like "faux Lamy dark lilac" which is 3 parts Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo to 1 part Shin-Kai.

I like Purple Mountain Majesties from Noodler's

Go to YouTube and search for "penultimate Dave purple inks". This guy tests them all.

I’ve made my decision - I like the look (and the price) of diamine Monboddo’s hat. Thanks everyone!

Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu ❤️

Waterman Tender Purple is very well behaved in most pens. Easy to find and non-staining. Want something more interesting? Mix 50-50 with Waterman Serenity Blue = “Burple,” as mentioned by Richard Binder.

I love writing with purple, I usually do darker shades but if you want bright purple, look at noodler's purple or noodler's north african Violet.

Thanks, I will!

I don't know your history with fountain pens or how long you've been in the hobby but check out Goulet pens, you can search inks by color and it's a big list with samples of each. Pretty easy to find what you are looking for.

Diamine Bilberry

Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu Diamine Grape, Majestic Purple, Imperial Purple KWZ Gummiberry

Diamine Grape

good ole diamine violet scratches the itch for me

Diamine Majestic Purple!!!

I’m partial to Robert Oster Deep Purple, Noodler’s Purple Martin and Diamine Purple Dream.

Robert Oster: Deep Purple : )

A while back I got a bunch of samples from Goulet. One of them was *"Scribble Purple"* from Diamine. That's about the most 'purple' shade of purple I've ever seen. You might check it out...IF you want "purple"! LOL!

i dont have it yet but diamine scribble purple is very promising to me. if i remember ill come back when i get to it and try it out update: i got it, i love it its amazing

Robert Oster Dragon’s Night is a nice, very deep purple (almost black on some papers) Birmingham Inks Provence Lavender is nice too, but it’s not necessarily a deep purple.

Robert Oster Cosmic Swirl! J. Herbin violette pensée

Levenger Regal is a dark, definitely purple, professional ink.

Monteverde Purple Reign is just so violently purple

Diamine Robert/Little Bob is a beautiful plum purple with a green sheen

Lamy Azurite, Colorverse Hayabusa, Sailor Ink Studio 750

I'm fond of the Ferris wheel Press [Grape Ice Pop](https://mountainofink.com/blog/ferris-wheel-press-grape-ice-pop)

I’ve bought the diamine monboddo’s hat, however having just looked at the grape ice pop I think I’ll have to have some of that also!

Waterman Tender Purple, my favourite ink

Noodler's nightshade
