Hay, can I get some color help?

Well, this is my first time posting here, hey dudes. I'm pretty sure this kind of question has never been asked before, haha.

Anyone into Asian ball-jointed dolls (BJD) should know where I'm coming from here. If that isn't your thing, well--

I need help deciding on a Lelouch eye color, care to help me out?

Mmkay, so, I'm trying to decide on what color eye would better suit his "normal" eye. I've got two nice ones but I'm having trouble deciding which one to really stick with.

I'm using this picture as my main reference.

I'm looking at these eyes:


97. Violet


901. Deep Purple

Deep Purple seems more "Lelouch" to me, but Violet looks better to the picture. But the pictures I've seen of Violet from other people looked a little lighter than that. I've never seen any other Deep Purple pictures.

So yeah, what do you guys think?

Also, if anyone could help me out with any word descriptors to describe what color his Geass eye is like, that'd help me out a lot. I'm really bad at them.

Thanks guys!

You're making a Lulu BJD? Cool, what mold are you planning on using?

I would say the violet is closer to his color. Deep purple is darker then his eye color. However, I'd want to see IRL pics of the violet eyes. They seem the right color, but sometimes official pics are off. Usually I find violet eyes to have a more blue tone to them in real life. That would be inappropriate for Lelouch...he definitely does not have any blue tone to his eyes.

Yeah, hopin' it works out, haha. I'm extrapolating, using a Miho. Something more realistic.

Yeah, I worried about that for a bit, but I believe they're both pretty purple. They're Mystic Eyes actually, and I could only find two IRL pics. (uploaded to my PB, the first (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/dyydata/oP1012092.jpg) and the second (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/dyydata/mysticviolet.jpg). No such luck, again, for Deep Purple.
