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.

All 👏 purples 👏 are 👏 beautiful 👏👏👏

But today, I'm really feeling that Russian

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 hour ago

Indigo, then Iris, then Amethyst

[–] Kitchel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Plum or Russian

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Orchid or Psychedelic.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I’m a fan of midnight and orchid personally.

[–] tgirlschierke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 hours ago

hard to pick but Light feels neat

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

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

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

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago

Thank you! Is such a nonsensical question to me. What! You want me to not like colours? What kind of monster do you think I am? I love them all! Yes, even beige, I don't care !

[–] happydoors@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Iris really pops

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago
[–] HorreC@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Ultra Violet. Both in light, and in shade.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Indigo.

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

[–] Sas@beehaw.org 2 points 9 hours ago

Orchid has the perfect amount of red in it :)

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 18 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

Amethyst and iris. These are pretty much my signature colors.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I don't pick favorites, but you're now my favorite

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't wear makeup (unless I'm on camera/stage) and I want to try these they are gorgeous

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 hours ago

Oh they are beautiful

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Pink foil text on a purple and pink background was certainly not the best choice for legibility. Neat palette though!

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 14 hours ago

Ha you're not wrong!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

So do you really like it for the colour, or for the name?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

Definitely the hue. I've done psychedelics a handful of times but much more just prefer my pot.

A classic lover i approve

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Indigo and ultra violet. I love dark purple

[–] ButteryMonkey@piefed.social 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

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

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 47 minutes ago

Isn't periwinkle a shade of blue?

[–] pea@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

As any eastern european would say:

I don't speak woman, purple is purple

Eggplant and midnight are both very nice

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 18 hours ago

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.)

[–] ptolemy 2 points 15 hours ago

Midnight, Iris.

[–] TastehWaffleZ@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] ElectroLisa@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 20 hours ago

TF2 hat colours be like

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 17 hours ago

Good choice
