I agree, according to the assigned RGB value, No. But here are Bricklinks images,
purple on the left, dark purple on the right. I haven't seen a lot of the
old purple and want to make sure I am correctly identifying it.

Thanks

Dark Purple is darker than that 1x1 tile shows.

Don't focus on the darkness. Focus on the redness. Purple is much redder
than dark purple.

Thanks. This definitely has a lot more red in it than dark purple. Relative color...

The image on the right is a bad render. Dark Purple is much darker than the image
would suggest.

See https://www.bricklink.com/catalogColors.asp?v=2&itemType=P&itemNo=

or the photo thumbnails of decorated parts at https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catID=118&catXrefLevel=0&colorPart=89&catType=P

Thanks. Yeah, I have Dark Purple in my store from new sets to reference. Now
hopefully I also have confirmed purple to reference in the future.

Use Ryan’s pics ( http://www.ryanhowerter.net/colors.php ):

Purple: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15003782952
Dark Purple: https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/15202313942

And then you see they are not the same tint, so it’s like calling Orange something
like Medium Pink.

Wow, that is some solid reference material. I had started a google doc with a
lot of this information but this is for more informative and complete. Thank
you!

If only the 2x4 brick came in every color! I like the use of the side of the
2x4 plate instead of labeling the face of a 1x4 tile.

A lot of colors do come in 2x4 bricks, but you can make a 2x4 brick with two
2x2 bricks etc.

If you don’t mind if the brick has the LEGO logo on it, the 2x4 brick does come
in the most colors
