what sort of purple is it; dark, light or inbetween?

Dark purple. The pink is a nice deep colour and I like the turquoise. the green is quite light so can be harder to read. I love these pens - they write nicely and I use for uni and work.

Having seen the previous FAQs can you please tell me why these pens are being advertised like they are boxes of individual colours, all pink, etc????

The picture above shows all purple pens in a box and only one colour. When I bought mine,the box had four colours marked on it-pink,purple,green and light blue. I hope this helps your qquestion.

Mine worked fine. Have you taken the little plastic bit off the nib?

Description clearly states 20 pens in this colour (purple). Can you either reassure me that I would receive 20 purple pens as stated

I can fully reassure you that each pack contains 20 pens if bought via us. I of course cannot answer for the other sellers and you would need to contact them directly.
