I know there were three years that Lilac was produced, but which year is the most purple? It is hard to tell with the swatches. Does it vary from bag to bag? If I wanted a purpley lilac, what year should I be on the hunt for? Photos would enhance this thread nicely, if you've got them! :flowers:

i think the 06 lilac is the most purple. the 04 lilac is more mauvey-pinkey-purple. the 03 lilac is greyish lilac.

when you are looking for an 06 lilac, be sure to request the least grey of their stock, some of the 06 lilacs look awfully dull, but some are nice and pretty and vibrant

Tln, I just purchased an '06 Lilac, and to me, seems to take after the ink, where it looks a little different in different types of lighting. Sometimes it tends to look pinkish, and other times it has a bit of a mauve-y tone. Here's a pic in which I think it looks the most purple:

Beautiful bag cate22! It's one of the prettiest I've seen thus far of the Lilacs! :smile:
