Okay great those pictures are exactly what I needed. I know that my sister and girlfriend say that purple would be really cool. Which purple would you guys recommend? I usually prefer a darker purple, but not so dark that it's almost black. I also don't want it to look blue or indigo at the tip.I would want a nice even dark purple. Would this describe a DVA or would I be better off with a regular VA?
The problem is that the VA and it's variants are created using an RGB led, as Kham said. This means you're pumping two different colors up the blade at a time, which results in a less even color as you go up the blade.
Not sure if it's representative, but my brother's DVA Bane at full charge had a very indigo tip, with a more violet base. This makes me think that the VA might be more your style, but I could be wrong.
Overall, the DVA makes a deep purple color, it's very cool.
