CIM Evil Queen and Thai Orchid don't reduce, as far as I know. I don't know about Poi and Grape Ape.

You can soak the silvery ones in drain cleaner and it takes it back to normal purple.

I think the effetre dark violet is pretty, but I agree that the CiM Thai Orchid is great, and it's compatible with effetre and vetrofond.

mmm love that thai orchid, and it gets darker the longer you work it. I also used to mix ink blue-violet and periwinkle.

I like the violet dark from moretti. 591039 I have a tendency to put it over white because it's such a dark intense purple. http://www.frantzartglass.com/index....oducts_id=3154 Angelique

I'd go for Reich's Lilac. Its a brilliant colour that stays the way it looks in the rod - purple.

CiM Eggplant is a great saturated opaque/opal purple. And CiM Simply Berry is a delicious transparent deep purple.
