Ok, it's getting close to order time...(next week or 2 max) I have a few questions....the DVA, how close to a grape color is it ? from what I can tell in the pics, there's spots on the DVA that seem really dark if so, I'm sold on it ! the next question, what would be a good complement color to the DVA ? My DVA will be going into a DSI staff and I was thinking maybe Adagen Silver , and playin with filters. but I'm still on the fence about it. I'd like a color that wouldn't wash out the DVA too badly. any suggestions ?
Dark Violet is pretty much an indigo color. It looks different to every person, due to the RGB led used plus the subjectivity of colors in general, but that's a good way to sum it up.
This is a fair representation:

At least that's what mine looked like. Also, mine had a bit of a color gradient from the bottom to the top - at the base it was more of a true violet, while the top was much bluer. Once again, the nature of the RGB led.
What are you looking for a complement color for? Are you looking to dual wield? For a staff I tend to prefer the same color on both sides, but that's just a personal thing. If you went with DV on both sides, you could always tweak the color to an extent with filters - the Violet Amethyst and its derivatives are cool that way.
