Purple LEDs?

[Unlikekurt]

Anybody know where to get purple or pink leds?
I used to get them from uniqueleds.com but for some reason I haven't been able to place an order there for a good 2 years now, it just wont go through.
And all I can find anywhere are purple or pink leds that aren't really colored, they're more "white" with a hue and when they get bright they just go white.
Anyone?  Thanks

I got a 5mm pink LED from mouser that work great. Clear lens and pink color       here is the link

They also have a purple one and I'd imagine it's just like the pink one as it has the same specs, however I haven't bought this one.

The violet LEDs are purple, but they have a UVish look. Also, in my experience, high brightness purple LEDs are less bright than other colours.

If you want a 3mm to mount in a valve socket, purple are very hard to find, at least in my experience.

Futurlec has both purple and pink LEDs in 5mm.  I've got a pink in my Dr. Boogie just to try and reduce its overall level of testosterone.

I got ultrabright green, pink, purple, and cyan from digikey.com

They are ultra, ultra bright and work great.

Here's a pink LED from Futurlec lit up, no pictures of the purple I'm afraid:
