Magnoli tie colours - real life compared to website

I purchased the Ricci tie from Magnoli recently and it's now one of my favourite ties. I was looking at getting either the Skyfall or the Granborough tie as I believe that they would look good with a charcoal and blue Glen plaid suit that I just bought. However, on the website the grey colour (or what I presume to be the grey) looks very much purple. Now, this could be my monitor or the website itself but I thought I'd double check. Anyone here have either tie? Comments on the colours, both in terms of personal tastes and how they compare to the photos on the website?

I guess it depends on your monitor colour and settings really but both ties are BLUE no hint of purple. From a distance the Skyfall tie is more slate coloured whereas the Granborough is a nice deep blue. On my iPad, the close-up picture of the Granborough is pretty accurate and both pictures of the Skyfall tie.
FWIW, the Granborough is my favourite of these two. The Skyfall tie isn't very screen accurate as the pattern is way too small. They are both beautifully made ties though.
Hope that helps!
I have both ties also and agree with uncle. Including that the granborough is the best of the two.
Cheers for that. I have a triple basket-weave in navy blue, French blue, and light grey which looks quite nice with my suit but the overall effect is very blue-ish. I was looking for a tie where the overall effect would be more charcoal, and triple basket-weave is my favourite pattern. The added benefit is that if the charcoal "look" of the tie doesn't match the charcoal of the suit, then with a triple basket-weave there are enough colours in there that it doesn't look like a failed attempt at perfect matching.
Therefore I guess the Skyfall tie would suit me better, although I do love the look of the Granborough. I'm thinking that the new version of the Skyfall tie may be quite close to what I already have so I'd be better off getting the existing version...too lazy to post a pic tonight but I'll try to take one tomorrow to show what I've already got.
Actually, his Greene Planet Party tie is spot-on to the real TF tie, IMO. I don't think the pics on his site do that tie any justice. Of the "QoS" ties, it's definitely the best.

Agree - I have the real deal and had the Magnoli Greene, its the best out of all his QoS ties in my opinion, bolivia prob being the worst
I got a copy of the PTS and the pattern is nowhere near. The TF Has a 3D feel and look because of the weave type, whereas the Magnoli is flat. However, I like Magnoli's because it does not snag or pull because of said weave missing.
What makes the bolivia the worse?
It looks pretty bland in comparison though understandable I guess with the diff in material quality
Just to clarify, is the Green Party tie what is now sold as the 'Quantum' tie? As in this one: http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/quantum-tie-ties-p-287.html
Or is this a different product and the original Green Party tie by Magnoli not available anymore?
Can't wait to wear it tomorrow.
Does anyone have more pictures? I would love to see better pics of the grandborough tie.
