This beautiful plum color from Keene is elusive to me. The sample I have did not have a color label and the Keene website does not have pictures for all the filaments. I mean thats one reason I started this site. None the less the color is very deep for a translucent color. I did my best to guess at which color on the Keene site matches this.

Keene Village Plastics (KVP) has a wide selection of made in the USA materials. Keene is one of the oldest filament manufacturers. KVP sells filaments in all sorts of spool sizes from 500g to 30 lbs in a variety of spool styles.
