MemberThe new one is a plum/eggplant. Though I found for my wedding that it was called everything from amethyst, to plum, to eggplant and other weird things I don’t remember.

MemberYes frustrating you can’t just tell them the exact colour you want!
MemberLooks like a royal purple to me.
MemberFirst dress: royal purple/violet
Second dress: plum/eggplant
Both read as purple to me.

MemberYes, this.And l say again, manufacturers labels are so annoying, often completely misleading Marine blue for eg !
MemberThat isn’t what you will find out when people answer though, who is to say you see the same indigo that some of the bees see when they reply?
They are a huge number of shades within colours and there is no set answer as most colour names are different between stores, fabrics or items.
In simple terms they are both purple dresses with the first one being more blue toned and the second one being more red toned.
The struggle is real. Most people say it’s purple/blue (but which one?!)
This is too simplistic, it dosen’t need to be one or the other.
Are you wanting to know just from curiosity or so your bridesmaids can match this colour from different places? What does the store label it?
MemberI’m asking everyone because I know answers will vary, but if most people say the first dress looks blue-ish, then I probably shouldn’t choose that one. It’s a beautiful color, but I’m really wanting a clear purple. This was the dress I originally wanted for my bridesmaids:
It’s Colour by Kenneth Winston, but it’s from 2016 and stores don’t carry it anymore (can’t even find a store near me that carries Colour by Kenneth Winston, let alone that specific dress), so I’m trying to find something similar. But I don’t really want blue-ish purple or reddish purple; I want purple purple! lol
MemberBoth are clearly purple to me- the first is just blue based and the 2nd is red based. Purple is a secondary color- meaning it 2 primary colors were blended to create it. Even a “purple purple” will pull one way or the other, even if it is just slight. Get the color you love, and don’t worry what color your guests may interpret it as!
