Pink
and Purple Inks Part I
Pink
Inks:

Jansen
Magenta: Medium Pink similar to Waterman Pink but slightly
darker and better intensity. (bottled ink only)
Waterman
Pink: Intense light to medium pink which is more towards
violet than P.R. Pink. (Cartridges and bottled ink)
Lamy
Pink: Light to medium pink, similar to P.R. Pink, less
intensity and less violet than Waterman Pink. (I've seen cartridges
only so far, but bottles may exist, too)
Waltraud
Bethge Papier Cool Colors Mondstaub (Moon Dust): Very
interesting and unique color, which would be best descriped
as a grey purple or purplish grey with blue and magenta tones.
Ink seems very watery and thin first, but darkens a little
bit when drying. (bottled ink only)
Burgundy Inks:

Parker
Quink Violet: Sheaffer Burgundy is the only close color
to this. It 's less intense (more greyish) and less
red (more violet) than Sheaffer Burgundy.
(While
this color was only avaiable in cartridges in France as far
as I know, and being discontinued for a some years, I don't
know if the coor I got is still the original one and didn't
alter over the time)
Sheaffer
Burgundy: More of a dark red burgundy color with purple
hues. Very nice and unique ink beside Parker Quink Violet,
suitable for serious writing.
(Cartridges and bottled ink)
Purple Inks (from blue to red) :

Waterman
Violet: Rich, and very intense dark blue violet with very
good flow. (Cartridges and bottled ink)
Rotring
Ultramarine: A color inbetween violet and blue, similar
to P.R. Tanzanite, but less intesne and slightly more towards
a Royal Blue color. (Cartridges and bottled ink, discontinued)
Sheaffer
Lavender: Lighter medium blue - violet "lavender"
color. Might be to light for serious writing but is still
a very nice color with a great balance between blue and red
tones. (Cartridges and bottled ink)
Jansen
Violet: intense true medium violet, being more intense
than Sheaffer's Lavender but lighter and not as blue as Waterman.
(bottled ink only)
Waltraud
Betghe Papier Classic Colors Aubergine: Lighter faded
purple color towards a medium (not bright) pink with magenta
and gray hues (Somewhat like the W.B.P. Moondust but not as
gray and with more color) Looks very washed out and light
with most nips. (bottled ink only)
Pelikan
Violet: Medium violet more towards the magenta (red) violet
colors. OK intensity. (Cartridges and bottled ink)
Lamy
Violet: Intense medium violet similar to Pelikan Violet
in terms of color, but with just a bit more magenta and better
intensity. (Cartridges and bottled ink)
I Have
not tried Private Reserve (bottled ink only) personally
but seen actual samples:
Baby
Lips Pink: Intense but light to medium pink with slight
flesh color or lobster tones
Hot
Bubble Gum: Intense vibrant "neon"-pink color.
Tanzanite:
Darker medium color in-between violet and blue. More intense
and slightly darker than Rotring Ultramarine, but slightly
more violet.
Plum:
Very unique and intense "plum" color with very
visible magenta - red tones
