Oh, I love purple. I own several purple shades.

By M.A.C. in the existing matte shades, I have Shadow Lady. This is a deep dry matte shade of purple.

In the new M.A.C. matte2, I have Graphology. This is a smooth texture matte shade of a dark purplish black.

In the M.A.C. limited edited edition, I have Thunder.
This is a mid tone frost purple.

In Bobbi Brown, I own a color called Eggplant.
This is a slight shimmer deep eggplant color.

You didn't ask for these. But, I am including them, because they are also a darker purple category. They are not eye shadows.

- M.A.C. pigment called Extremauve.
- M.A.C. shadestick in the color called Royal Hue (I believe this will be a discontinued item.)

I agree with SparklingWaves about Entremauve. There is also Grape pigment, or Deep Purple pigment. Those are really dark purple shades.

Pigments are my ultimate favorite. They have so many uses & will last you a lifetime. Depending on color of course, you can use them as blush, mix with a lipgloss, mix them together for your own unique shade, as eye shadow, in nail polish, as a highlighter. You can use them wet or dry too..wet is going to give you a bolder/brighter look. Some people get turned off because they are loose instead of pressed, but start with a small amount (maybe even put some in a small 3g or 5g jar so it's not so overwhelming, and just in case it drops) You can always build the color, and they are just so much fun to use. Most of them have awesome color payoff as well

Agreeing with MacAttack. I know when I got one pigment. I just wanted more. Some people apply them over a paint, paint pot, or shadestick color like beiging.(spelling?). You apply them with a brush wet or dry.

Yes, like MacAttack, stated. The color pay off is great. Now, from the name of Extremauve, I thought it would be mauve. It's not. It's a dark purple with a mauve shimmer to me. That's the best I can explain it.

You may see a pigment called Smoke Signal. This one is a matte wine color to me. It's not purple. They are different. I just wanted to pass that on to you, because someone told me that Smoke Signal was purple. I don't agree with that description. It's wine or maroon matte shade.

All the MAC eyeshadows mentioned above are lovely, and Stila also makes a matte, dark purple I believe is called Dahlia.
