I don't have any purple flowers at the moment so here are a couple of purple-ish plants.

Almost everything I think is purple turns out to be magenta according to my books. Finally found this flower described as having red-purple stripes...

This is what's needed to determine the exact colour of your flowers - a bit pricy though :eek:

Even cheaper just use this page http://cloford.com/resources/colours/500col.htm
