This is one of the best water bottles I've bought so far. The prism violet looks very similar to how it's depicted in the picture, except it's a little shinier with a metallic sheen. I was weary at first about metal bottles because I was afraid it would make my water have this metallic after taste to it but it doesn't! This was a great bottle for when I was at a theme park because I could pour my fountain soda into the bottle and enjoy my favorite rides with out having to worry about finishing the soda or it spilling everywhere.
