This shot gives you a pretty good idea of the deep purple color.
For some reason, this ink was incredibly difficult to photograph and get accurate color reproduction. Some of these pictures make the ink look purplish blue-black, but it's really just a very deep purple, which shows more if you are using a broader nib. Of course, here I'm using a Japanese XF, so I've probably caused the issue myself, but oh well.
Sailor apparently has replaced the old Jentle Ultramarine with two purple options: Nioi-Sumire, which is a personal favorite of mine and leans heavily to the blue end of the spectrum with purple undertones, and Shigure, which is a deep purple. I'm not going to bore you with a discussion of the ink properties other than to say that I've found all of these new Sailor inks to be nearly identical in that regard (read: quick drying, no-bleeding, no-feathering, and overall excellent). Next up will be Oku-Yama (the "new" Grenade).
Again the writing here, other than the "swab", appears somewhat more black than it does in real life, at least on my computer screen. The pictures below are better, IMHO.
