Midnight, Iris.
Eggplant and midnight are both very nice
Iris for sure, that's the color I set in SC2 when I played Zerg
I sorely miss periwinkle here. Iris and amethyst are close enough.
Isn't periwinkle a shade of blue?
Yeah, it's something between blue and purple, I'd say.
orchid <3
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 :)
Iris really pops
I think I have a shirt in Midnight, so that's my answer.
I’m a fan of midnight and orchid personally.
hard to pick but Light feels neat
Orchid or Psychedelic.
Plum or Russian
Psychedelic and Indigo. I can't and won't pick just one of them.
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.
Wildberry, I like the softness of it and the reddish undertone. Then it's plum or midnight.
From yhose, violet and psychedelic, the rest are too dark or too cold
I count like four shades with slight variations.
Refused.
Bright is probably would be the closest for me, but it also depends on usage. I'm not using it as a wall colour.
Plum or royal
As any eastern european would say:
I don't speak woman, purple is purple
