Just a few quick pictures for anyone unsure of the colors.

They'll obviously look slightly different in person but I have NEVER been able to get a good picture of my DVA.

Is the Violet that pinkish in person? Or is it truly closer to a purple?

Compared to the DVA in person yes it's pinker.

IMO, VA is a more Mace Windu purple, than the DVA, which is more blue making it a deep Indigo.

I'll point you over to my newer thread with all three variations of the Violet Amethyst so the comparison is better defined.

It's kind of hard to describe when I can't show you in person.

Picture's never do the correct justice too the LED's, on camera they all look like real sabers.

Than I think she would be very happy with the normal Violet Amethyst.

It's not as blazingly pink as the Bane's Heart, which is the extreme opposite of DVA.

M.J. abhors pink and while VA is pinker than DVA, she loves it; not so much about the Bane's Heart. ;D

SY Shock LE would be tight.

Purple will always be more popular. i don't mind that, lots of people don't know SY is available. ;D

I have a DVA Initiate V3. It's definitely not blue. I would say indigo, but towards purple.

Thats great news then, cause ordered mine today with DVA.  Just think the regular VA looks to pink-ish, but will see once it arrives

Would you say there is a difference in actual blade brightness in terms of illumination between the two?

Yes because they're emitting two different colored lights.

I would say that the DVA is more subdued in terms of illumination due to the blue added to the LED.

the gold accents of the LE would look good with the DVA shining off it.

As an owner of that exact set up, I approve.  It's pretty magnificent.
