Okay, so I am just catching up with all my blog reading but I thought I would throw my two cents in. I would say the purple is deep. Although, I guess the red could be considered deep too…I can see why you asked. Both are gorgeous colors though.

I’m late about this, but I’ll also say that neither are deep to me. If you really want to make one deep, then I’d choose the purple.

The Waterlilly top looks amazing! You’ve taken a meh pattern and made it look incredible, bravo!

Good luck on your move!

no. I would not call either of them deep. I wouldn’t call them pale or light either though. They look ‘medium’ to me.

Good luck on the tangled yoke. I like your yarn choice.

I think the second looks like a deep color. I think the purple is a bit faded for being “deep”. I like them both though.

I think the tank is coming along well. You could always put a cardigan over it for the playground and wear it plain for a fun date with your husband!

Like most of the commenters already, I would really call either one of them “deep,” but the red is certainly deep-er than the purple. Both yarns are lovely though!

I think the top is adorable, especially with your modifications!

I think either could qualify as deep, but definitely the red more than the purple.

I would go with the purple as a deep color. The red seems too bright. The tank is cute! I like the detail in the neckline.

I would say the purple is deeper than the red. But maybe it’s just my computer screen. Go with your gut!
The top is coming along nicely. I can’t wait to see it finished. Every time I look at your WIP pictures I think, I want a dress form!
Good luck with your move! I’ll miss the pictures on your deck though.

I think they could both be deeper and by that I mean more saturated. The red is deeper than the purple. The top looks totally cool. Very hip and fashionable.

Good luck with moving! Don’t worry about the lack of internets–more time for you to knit!

As for the colors–judging from what I see on my monitor, they’re more mid-range. When I think deep, I think more saturated, darker color, not too much light reflection; deep sea blue, deep green forests, that kind of thing. The red is certainly bright, too.
