We have no opinions, you should know that by now! ;-)

But seriously folks.... I'd certainly buy good WW1 enamels. Xtracolour has a
few like you say but a good many of their paints bear little resemblance to
the colours they're supposed to represent and I'm always cautious when using
them. Their CDL isn't too bad and their PC10 could well resemble one
variation of that colour since there were many, but their WW1 purple looks
nothing like any depiction I've ever seen of that shade.
