Simply Marvelous! is a nice light purple. Intrigue, if you have the
climate for it, can be a beautiful rich purple. There is also Bayse's
Purple, which I haven't seen in real life. Also Stephen's Big Purple
which is not to my eye a true purple, but more of a red-violet. However,
a given variety can be different shades in different places or at
different times of the year, so maybe sometimes it's right in there.

I've got Simply Marvelous growing, and I have to say it looks pink to
me.
