I noticed that purple over standard weave shows up in some older shipping videos but isn't currently offered on the 3D builder. I don't know if that was ever a standard option or if they discontinued it because purple looks like one of the darkest tints they have. I imagine it must look something like an eggplant in person under normal lighting . Orange is another one that's only available in vibrant.
I am certain they no longer offer purple over standard weave because of how dark it must have been.

My Vibrant Purple Virtuo was surprisingly dark upon arrival (more so than my Vibrant Blue Uke). It still looks cool with direct sunlight through my window, but pretty much looks black in normal room lighting.
