Great colour, and a fitting name too!
I don't know. Was the rain any particular shade of purple?
Maybe Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu. Not my everyday sort of purple, but a cool name.

Pelikan 4001 violet for me today.
Diamine Grape.
Noodler's Baystate Concord
I thought I read in this forum somewhere that Noodler's makes your pen explode. Was that an exaggeration?
I've been using Diamine Imperial Purple for the last couple days, but it's a coincidence.
Explode? Nah. But routinely melt sacs? Sure. Eat the diaphragm of SBRE Brown's Edison Menlo Pump-Filler? Yeah (and he's a guy that knows his pens and pen maintenance). Kill the feeds on Lamy Safaris? Sure. But put a Baystate ink in a Platimun Preppy or Noodlers Pen and go nuts.
J. Herbin Violette Pensee, my everyday ink, is a true rich purple/violet, not too much red, beloved by 200 years of French school kids. Perfect for a Prince tribute.
I only use the Baystate inks in Platinum Preppies.
The ink that destroyed SBRE Brown's Edison Menlo wasn't a Baystate ink though. it was Liberty's Elysium.
As for purple, I had a sample of Diamine Damson once. It was nice...just not a bright purple.

Have Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa loaded.... Kinda purple'ish. Coincidental.
I like Diamine Bilberry.
I have an Esterbrook J (gray) with Venus Fine nib inked with Akkerman Voorhout Violet
I have had a sample of this sitting in my wish list for a while now, and it just never actually makes it into my cart. How do you like it performance wise? It's hard for me to pull the trigger on a color I know I wont use regularly.
I found has performed excellent in my Metropolitan Violet Leopard for over a year. As a result, I keep it in my almost daily use while other inks get rotated.
