  The African Violet is a much ligher/brighter purple than eggplant.  The Bordeaux is a little more red to it.  My colour is also dark purple (like eggplant) and I would probably go with the bordeaux if I was choosing between those 2 colours.  Hope that helps a little.

  I was scared of the bordeaux because of the red....Do you think it's closer to a red than a purple?

  Bordeaux is a type of wine.  Not to mix wine types, but bordeaux could be classified as burgundy color-wise.  I am having a purpley wedding and bordeaux is not purple in my book.  I'd be more likely to pick African violet since violet is an actual purple shade.

  The eggplant from Alfred Angelo is exactly the colour I want.  And yes, the bordeaux is more red than purple.  I just suggested the bordeaux vs the african violet because I knew that I didn't want a light purple colour.
