Some examples here and check out the blog link. Royal purple devits more easily than purple rose IMO.

Search gaffer zimmerman and there are quite a few threads. I thought Lara's comparison was the most thorough, and it is on her blog

I mix the two Gaffer colors (198 and 199) for what I think is the closest match to Z-99.

I agree on the mix--most accurate duplication of z99.

I like the Royal Purple better because it devits less and is a deeper purple color, FWIW.
