In my opinion, Diamine Imperial Purple/Akkerman Simplisties Violet #13 and Diamine Pansy are the closest alternatives to Lamy Dark Lilac. If you don't mind the ink to be lighter then Diamine Imperial Purple might be the better alternative but if you don't mind the colour to be slightly off then maybe Diamine Pansy would be the better alternative. Ultimately it depends on which compromise you can accept. Additional inks are Baytate Concord Grape, Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst, and De Atramentis Magenta Violet (which is the the non scented version of De Atramentis Violets above). This sheet doesn't have writing in the inks and jut the swatches. I've included and extended sheet of comparisons below. Noodler's Purple is too blue and Montblanc Lavender Purple is too red. De Atramentis Aubergine is too red and lacking in vibrancy. De Atramentis Violets and Diamine Majestic Purple are considerably lacking in shading and red compared to LDL. While they are all good inks, they are not similar to LDL and should not be considered an alternative. This should hopefully put to rest those suggestions. I've heard suggestions from people that Montblanc Lavender Purple as well as some De Atramentis Purples might work well as a LDL alternative. This is an amazing ink, but I don't believe it's should be considered an alternative. The Sheen is much greener compared to LDL. Looking at the chromatography, the pink in Pansy separates from the blue a little much like LDL but unlike Diamine Imperial Purple/Akkerman #13.īungubox L'Amant is considerably pinker and lacks a lot of blue compared to LDL. It also has the gold sheen of LDL but not as extreme and not quite as yellow. It's a little bluer than LDL but unlike other potential alternatives it shades nice and dark like LDL does but doesn't shade as much and is generally as dark as LDL. It also sheen green rather than gold.ĭiamine Pansy is the closest ink to LDL. Cross Violet Shades much less than LDL and is also universally lighter. When Cross Violet first came out many were hoping that it was be a good dupe of LDL and while it is an amazing ink, a dupe it isn't. The colour is fairly similar but is a little leaning more blue than LDL. Both Imperial Purple and LDL shade a similar amount but LDL is probably lightly more. Imperial Purple also has the same nice gold sheen that LDL has but the sheen isn't a prevalent. They perform exactly the same, the sheen the same, they look the same, they shade the same and even the chromatography is the same! The main difference between Diamine Imperial Purple and LDL is that the shading is that LDL shades darker than Diamine Imperial Purple (and thus Akkerman #13) and is generally darker than overall than Imperial Purple. Don't need another Safari in this color (I bought a Dark Lilac one when they first came out: I had thought that I'd go a bit silly and get a pink one, but when they came out with the Dark Lilac and I saw a photo of one? It was ALL OVER.First off it's worth noting that Diamine Imperial Purple and Akkerman #13 Simplisties Violet are, in my opinion, the exact same ink.
He told me he had never had a seller like the Dark Lilac pens - they were flying off the shelves as soon as they got put out, I gather - and did NOT understand why more of the ink wasn't available.ĮTA: In case anyone is wondering, no, I'm NOT bidding on this listing. I had checked with other venders at the show -the guy from Crazy Alan's Emporium said that he was going home and checking invoices every night (that's a local show for him), but wasn't sure he was going get his order from them at ALL.
I was going to the Triangle Pen Show that year, and Anderson Pens got an order delivered to them after they were on their way to the show from where they live, and kept checking their website when I'd get back to my hotel room, and when they had it back in I just POUNCED and ordered two bottles on the spot. I'm still kicking myself for NOT buying a third bottle when I had the chance back then.
