To me, that's a washed out blue, not purple.

Looks purple to me, tested on:

- iPhone 13 Pro

- iPad Pro 2018 11"

- iPhone 8

- Both monitors on my Mac: MSI PS341WU and Dell P2715Q (both calibrated using DisplayCal and an Xrite ColorMunki)

Nah it’s an off grey. Purple needs to be more saturated and darker than this. It’s not just about hue. Clearly who am I to disagree with Pantone, but fuck Pantone on this particular issue I am a man on the internet and this excuse for a Color offends me

It's a violet, not a purple technically. Purples tend to be bolder, and have a closer 1:1 Red to Blue mix; while Violets are more Blue, and often softer.

You may also be a bit colorblind. Not everyone sees color the same, even among the population who is not diagnosed colorblind. Determining color is also a skill akin to tones in music. It's a combination of skill and innate ability to determine them.

Are you using a calibrated monitor and if so what color temperature and brightness did you calibrate to ? I can imagine if you calibrate to a colder color temp, which is more blueish, it might appear grey, or if you calibrated to a higher brightness it might also look more washed out.

I have mine calibrated to 6500k and 120cd/m2 and it looks very purple to me.

> Very Peri is a combination of different shades of blue and deep violet with red undertones.

It's periwinkle, no?
