[Kaweco](https://www.kaweco-pen.com/en/?ref=news.knockology.com) is adding **Light Purple and Shadow Purple** to its [Lunar Sport range](https://www.kaweco-pen.com/en/Series/LUNAR-SPORT/?ref=news.knockology.com) on **October 14**, with both finishes offered as 0.7 mm mechanical pencils. A Shadow Purple 3.2 mm clutch pencil gives the release a broader-lead option, too.

The [October 7 announcement](https://www.instagram.com/kaweco.germany/p/DeMGFl9DPCV/?ref=news.knockology.com) is a finish story with a useful choice of formats. The iridescent bodies change appearance with the angle of the light: Light Purple starts with a pale mauve base, while Shadow Purple gives the shifting highlights a darker backdrop.

## Two finishes, three confirmed pencils

Kaweco European web-store prices; shipping is extra. Product numbers: 11000523, 11000542 and 11000543, respectively.

The bodies are ABS plastic with silver-colored trim. The iridescent finish supplies the visual change while retaining the familiar Sport construction.

The close-ups explain the difference better than a color name can. Pale facets and stronger green-violet reflections produce two quite different looks around the same compact Sport shape. As with any reflective finish, lighting will affect what a buyer sees in person.

## The broader-lead option

The Shadow Purple clutch version carries a 3.2 mm, 5B lead. Image: [Kaweco](https://www.kaweco-pen.com/en/Kaweco-LUNAR-SPORT-Clutch-Pencil-Shadow-Purple-3.2-mm/11000543/?ref=news.knockology.com).

The 0.7 mm versions serve the familiar writing-pencil role; the 3.2 mm, 5B clutch version offers a much broader, soft core for sketching and shading. Choose the format before the finish: these are different tools, not simply different tip colors.

The official pages checked confirm three pencil combinations. A Light Purple 3.2 mm version has not been confirmed in those listings, so it is not included in the lineup above.

## What US buyers should know

October 14 is the release date on Kaweco’s own store. The company currently says it [cannot accept orders for shipment to the United States](https://www.kaweco-pen.com/en/shippingcosts?ref=news.knockology.com) because of import and customs costs, and directs customers to US specialty retailers. That does not establish a US launch day or dollar price for these purple pencils; neither was confirmed in the sources reviewed.
