I seemed to have missed the memo, what does 3DV mean? Usually used in conjunction with the colour purple. Help.
3DV???
- Thread starter swannymere
- Start date
I remember a member on here, I'm sure he'll be here soon , he was complaining that 3DV was used too often to mean purple but it was actually used by a specific company and he was angry at it being used generally for any kind of purple, so I think it was coined by a manufacturer, but I canny remember who :facepalm:

Cheers chaps.
It's was a partnership between two companies to ensure purple parts were all the same colour / depth. Ringle was one company, I can't remember the other.
It means 3D Violet.
3DV is the name of the dye used, the partnership ensured both companies were able to achieve the same colour despite the thousands of variables involved in anodising.
I don't use 3DV currently, there are other purples similar in colour that don't fade when left in the sun for a week.
It wasn't me going on about it, but does anyone know where the thread is that Alison mentions? It sounds like a good read!
