Apple actually did a decent Violet color a few years ago. It is called Ultra Violet. It is a perfect shade of Violet in my opinion.
I have Ultra Violet. It's too dark, and too blue. More of a Blurple. Still looking for a true purple. The underlying/hole/back color of the Black/Hyper Grape Nike sport band was a lovely purple, much more evenly balanced between red and blue, but not much of it shows up on the normally visible part of the band.

I'd love to see that one. It's about time.
 
So Surf Blue finally showed up and well it is kind of disappointing. It looks so much brighter in photos. In reality, it is as dull as one of the first generation Sport Bands. It fits somewhere between First Generation Blue and (So-Called) Royal Blue.

The second batch of photos taken in nice warm and bright eighty degree sunlight.

Blue 1G, Blue 2G, Surf Blue, (So-Called) Royal Blue. For the last few I added Blue Orbit/Blue Gamma, Dark Teal, Dark Turquoise/Aurora Green.
Thank you so much for the comparison. I really wanted to see those blue bands, especially Blue g1 & g2. So, I think blue g2 is bit more green-ish in its tone than g1, right? I have been bit confused because the eBay seller - chargerstore listed blue g1 & g2, but in his/her comparison, blue g1 has more green tone.

Received my 44mm Hyper Crimson/Neptune Green Nike Sport Loop. Far more orange than crimson to my eyes. Seems more a Fall color than a Spring (Orange and Green make me think of pumpkins and trees losing their leaves).

Definitely third on my list behind the Hyper Grape and Pink Blast/True Berry.

G1 is "blue-ish" while G2 is a bit lighter and a little closer "aqua" or tropical blue colors. A friend of mine used to call it "swimming pool blue". :)

Does anyone have a mint Apple Watch band on a black/space grey Apple Watch. I like the colour but I’m not sure how it will look on my watch. If anyone can take a photo that would be great. 🤗

Hastily taken, not my best work. I like it, haven’t worn lately simply because there’s so many to choose from. Pairs well with Light Pink (half of each, pastel green and pastel pink), or at least it amuses me that way.

(Hmm, on my Mac screen, those colors look a bit more saturated than in real life.)
 
Thanks a lot! It looks great, better than I thought actually

I picked up a Mint band some time ago, but there was a bit of misunderstanding so it didn’t arrive until 2 or 3 weeks ago and I’ve never worn it. I really should as I like it.

Finding one is the issue now I guess. I believe it was a short-lived band from very early on - the first tones down green I believe. I got Chargerstore’s last 42mm one, and it’s not the easiest colour name to search for.

Hi again
Does anyone have any recommendations. I already have midnight blue and am looking for a lighter dark blue I was thinking of blue horizon but am not sure if they are to similar. I hope it isn’t too much to ask but if anyone can do a comparison of midnight and blue horizon (or any other blues) that would be great
Thank you
 
Row 1
5 Yep definitely cool gray
16 lilac?

Row 2
6 azure? denim? (I’m not a blue expert, though)
11-12 vintage rose-pink sand (1st gen)?
16 mist blue?

lovely image to look at! Love the nikes all together...and nice to get a first peek at Orange swift Hermès...you should give us some close-ups of that guy. And was dying to see celestial teal with the new midnight turq 🙌🏽

Yes good call in the fake but I think that’s far too blue to be fog, especially if that’s pure platinum/black. (this is a fun quarantine game!)

My Peacock Leather Loop came in this morning. Gotta be thankful for the supply chain still working! Overnight shipping from Ontario, California to Ontario, Canada!

Here it is compared to my Midnight Blue Leather Loop. I really love the Peacock colour! It's not too green and not too blue.
