Based on the image it looks as though it is closer to that of a Royal Purple, wondering if this is true or is the image not 100% accurate?

No its not royal Purple; it's exactly what you see, light blue, my dear. Great cover, easy to put and remove. Go for it.

I bought this item. In high light it's a solid blue color. No mistaking it for another color. In low light, it does look a little purple-ish though more blue than purple.

I Received My Case At The End Of June. It Is Royal Blue. No Purple Hue At All. It Is True BLUE.

The one that I have is more blue than purple and the blue is very vibrant... It stands out on a desk.

It is deep blue. The case does not have the purple hue in the picture. I like the color and the case a lot.

Definitely don't go by the picture. If it says purple it's purple. I found that out the hard way. Lol

Sorry for the delay in getting back with an answer. I would say the real thing does look a lot like the picture (at least in our case).

Mine looks exactly like the picture: purple, orange, & green. Not sure if it's just a bad description or of the colors vary, but I've seen a lot of inaccurate descriptions on other items in the past. I would guess that you would receive an item that looks like the picture since that's what I received.

I would say that the actual color of it is a little bit lighter than what is shown in the picture advertised online, but it's pretty close.

It's true to the picture. More a royal blue than a light blue I would say. Definitely not navy blue though.

I agree the picture is misleading, the picture looks like two types of purple but it is one purple a red and a pink. I do not see a red and a pink in the photo

Answer here... I got this for my younger sister for Christmas. Its basically a dark/royal blue, although it does have a purplish hue as well. They also sell them in red, which looked lovely. Going to buy another one for myself in the future. :) hope this helps!

It doesn't appear to be.Here's a picture of mine: http://i.imgur.com/pjtrQ9y.jpg

It's less red than in is this picture. It's more brown/red than purple/red. I didn't know there was a brown though! I would buy that one!

From what I can tell via the pix and descriptions, other than the packaging and the price, it appears that there is no difference. That said, having not seen the purple one in person, I can't truly say. Hope that vague answer helps in some way.

The picture is a little off, and you'll see if you get it how it could appear black in a picture. It is a very dark bronze color.

I would consider it a true red. The reds look a little different from one another based on the color swirls drawn in them but it is actual red.

It's an obvious blue. It does look a big more on the purple side in this picture.

The color is not quit purple but it certainly is not quite right. Kind of "sepia" color.

Yes, it's a very definite purple, slightly plummy. Comparing it to a purple mylar balloon (I think these are pretty standard, so you could go to a card shop and look at one) it's a couple of shades more towards the red/pink end of the spectrum. And of course not nearly as metallic.

The pic shows the color pretty well. It's dark greenish, washed out with black...I guess it's kinda of like stone carving, but not really. Just look at the pic, it looks like that.
