The colour of the purple pen is quite dark but after 3 months it starts to get much lighter in purple.

Please have a look at the Nakaya purple pens and re-consider

IMHO you cannot go past the beautiful purple colour of Nakaya Shobu and the pleasure is hightened by the change in colour over time.
That shows how well I read instructions!
The choice you presented is my new favorite though!!!
