Comments:

The supplier's picture shows these beads with a slightly different shade of purple.  I think the color in my picture is more correct, but it is hard to tell because the color of the beads is so subtle.  The color is more consistent from one bead to the next than the picture indicates; the beads were photographed on a surface, which always makes some beads look dark.
