Aubrieta, Your Pics Please!

I'm looking for an aubrieta but am struggling with the colours shown in the photos. I bought Aubrieta Royal Violet plugs but they turned out to be much more of a bright pinky purple than the photos showed so not at all suitable. Whilst there are other varieties that look the part, when doing a Google search, the images on different websites look a completely different shade, even though they're supposed to be the exact same variety. I did buy some white ones in the hope of eliminating the problem but they just don't feel right. It's got to be purple flowers.
Does anyone with aubrietas have any photos they can share? Hopefully "real" photos that haven't been edited will give me a much better idea of which variety to go with.
Thanks

Safer to chose when they are in flower.
No good seeing a pic of one you love ...then find no one is selling it at the moment.
Aubretia Antique Rose
Aubretia Audrey blue
@Silver surfer Lots selling at the moment, it's just that they seem to rely heavily on stock photos. In an ideal world, retailers would take photos of the plants they have but something like that would be time consuming and not everyone's going to have the time, especially small businesses. I may have to twist OH's arm to go to the garden centre and see if they have anything there. Breakfast will have to be on me though 😂 Thanks for the pics
