What kind of color is the new Ink leather loop?

I can't quite tell from the website. Is it a black? Dark purple?
Any ideas...?

Purple, a theme this year. The phone, cases, wallets, sport bands, etc. are available in either ink, elderberry, or lilac purple.

Thanks. That's what I kind of thought but needed someone to confirm.

I'm guessing it's like what Midnight is to blue...

Got mine delivered ahead of watch coming later this week. sure doesn't look purple to me, but colour is subjective. It looks a dark blue going on black to me. (Although to be fair a drop of purple might be in the colour mix too!) It does remind me of the old fountain pen ink colour of years back, hence the name.

The "ink" offering for bands and cases is akin to Octopus ink, if that helps.

Reminds me of Parker Quick ink in the UK

I think of the Ink color as a black base they has some dark blue added. As opposed to a graphite color which also has a black base but substitutes the dark blue for some grey.

Anyone also have the Midnight and can compare under good lighting?

So here is said strap... taken the picture at this angle to show the degree of closure. Based on my 155-160mm wrist, a 40mm Watch SE in Silver Aluminium and the Ink Leather Link being the M/L for a 41mm case. About 4 pills 'clear'. Feels very secure and looks now more blue than black in tone.
