Comments:

These beads are fairly dull.  If you look at the picture above, it seems to show that some beads are darker than others.  In actuality, all the beads are about as light at the lightest beads in the picture.  The purple is not intense.  I yellowish light, such as you get with some indoor lighting, the beads can look brownish.
