One Drop colors: comparing pink with violet

So when I look at the two yoyos below I see a violet Top Deck and a pink Marquis, and the two colors look very similar to my eyes. The violet isn’t as deep and rich a purple as the first(?) run of Top Decks with the engraved name in the cup, and the pink isn’t quite as BA as BAP, if you get my meaning. But it is always hard to know for sure what the colors look like in real life due to many factors, including the lighting environments of the respective photographs.

So can anyone who has both, or has seen both first hand, tell me if these two colors are as close to each other as the comparison image makes them appear?

Yoyos in advertisements always look sexier than in real life. At least to me. A long time ago I was on a dating website and my photo made me look much better than I actually am and now I play with yoyos so there’s your proof.

Color representation on a computer screen is also a very hard problem.

Ironically new and fancy smartphones do much better with color accuracy, so we have made progress!
