You want a purple with real presence. Intense, deep, and unapologetically bold – not a timid shade that disappears under a second layer. The Derwent Coloursoft C270 delivers that depth straight from the lead. Soft, velvety core drops rich royal purple in one stroke, no need to press hard or layer endlessly. Round barrel keeps your grip easy through long drawing sessions. One serious purple for when the piece needs weight
