When did plain purple ano become 3DV?

[orange71]

Or am I missing something? Was it Ringlé who did the original 3DV or Cooks or something, but since then everything that's purple is now called 3DV :?

I suppose you cant have retro purple as it doesnt quite sound right, hasn't got that edge which we all love to have on our components.... just imagine, "nice purple Ringle stuff there mate...." Bit like Titanium being called dull silver.

but why did only anodized purple get the 3DV tag? what about all the other colours?

what does 3dv stand for? maybe its a chmical name/attribute name or simlar (like a nickname)

 

[RockiMtn]

is it not just 3D Violet?
