Obviously you work in the telephone industry on some level. No one else knows what a slate wire is as compared to a gray one....

Are here any violet wires in a 500 or are they all purple?

I recall asking a storesman for a spool of yellow violet jumper wire and he eventually came back saying that all he could find was this spool of purple yellow and wanted to know if it would do!
