Trans purple on mahogany - can't find a picture anywhere

Thread title pretty much says it all, I love using purple for pretty much everything and I'm thinking of using this combination for a Tele Deluxe but I'm obnoxiously picky about the shade of purple I have. I've seen some photos of all of Warmoth's various forms of metallic purple finish, but I'm not after a metallic colour; I've seen the purple dye but I'm not after a figured top; I've seen the translucent purple on swamp ash and I liked the colour there but I don't know how much more it will differ over mahogany instead. I've scoured the forums and the rest fo the known world (well, the known internet guitar forums anyway) and not found a single picture of Warmoth's transparent purple finish over mahogany.
Can anyone help a poor picky Prince-a-like out?
 
Trans purple on mahogany is really pretty.  The back of my Strat is trans purple over mahogany.  Here is the showcase picture of it.  In person, it seems a little darker than that, but you can definitely see the grain through it, and it gives it a slightly 3-D effect.  Hope that helps!

Thanks!  It's a sale build. Here's a photo of what I have so far:
