HHMMM Thanks Linda. Violet Gallery shows it Purple too. But Ruby's are red and FC says dark red. If that is in a show it would be disqulified for being the wrong color ?? I don't get it.
I'd love to see it dark red !

Here is a picture of Pow Wow Sport ~ Deep Purple.
I guess deep red likes to sport deep purple ?
