So, seen a lot of people wondering what the differences are. While I can't quite do a side-by-side YET as my new indigo saber isn't here just yet... I can do references from a weathered avenger in indigo i had vs my current custom saber in purple. So!

Indigo:






Purple:






If you look, the indigo is a deeper, richer purple, and has a blue cast-off light from it. Whereas the purple is more... light purple, and has a more red/pink cast-off light to it.

Thanks Knytiri, I was wondering what the difference looked like. Looking forward to your side-by-side comparison ;)

Yeah, I think that'll help illuminate (ha... get it... pun!) the difference even better. I realize it's a bit hard to tell them apart from those pictures, but there IS a difference, especially in the life of the blade color itself, which is hard to capture on camera to begin with. But I will do my best to, once I get my other indigo saber in. =D

Yeah, they use four dies to achieve their color mixes, regular purple is 2 blue, 2 red. Indigo is 3 blue, 1 red.

Can't wait to see the side by side, but thanks a lot for putting this together. I played it safe and went deep blue for my first saber, because the indigo had just been made an option when I was ordering and wasn't sure about it. This is deff the next sabers color though.

Gonna have to consider this one as a possibility for a future saber. That is nice even in the picture, which never does the color justice.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

I had to sell it a long while back, and I've only seen the person I sold it to post one picture of it, which was...





This one. My new custom saber was originally supposed to be 12W Indigo but was changed to a tri-cree set somewhere between purple and indigo... so. Unfortunately thats not really spot-on accurate for either of SF's led colors. :(

Edit: I can say this, however... my original thought ordering the avenger weathered in indigo was a dark obi-wan "what if" scenario... and man. It was GORGEOUS. not only the color, but the hilt was really fantastic. Once i have my exhalted, ordering that saber again is next on my list.
