Help identifying fence paint colour?

Does anyone know what colour this fence paint might be? It's kind of a taupey purple/mauve. Thought it was Cuprinol Heartwood (painted a swatch on the second picture) but looks like it's drying too light, more of a lilac. Any ideas much appreciated!

Or possibly Cuprinol natural stone? This is what I am painting my fence with currently and it looks similar to the photo. Good luck!

Some colours will look different depending on what was underneath.

I've painted over one treated with an orange cedar stuff, then cream over green etc so possibily it was painted on a previously treated fence panel. Can the neighbours remember what colour it was before this?

I'd agree that in the photo it looks like Dusky Gem.

I've painted my fence with Ronseal Slate and it looks very much like that.

Thabks for the replies! We wondered if it was Dusky Gem too, but by chance we went into a Dulux Trade Centre for a colour match, which they couldn't do but we found the exact shade by chance! Turns out it was Honey Brown (which I'd never have got from looking at the fence - I don't think it looks honey coloured or brown) but it's a perfect match!
