How to make plum and lilac

Hello everyone,
Could you help me out I need to color my icing to a plum color and a lilac. I can’t quite get the shade I want all I have for purple color is violet, and that is all that is available in stores around here. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hello, it can be difficult matching shades, have you tried mixing your own.

Tara,
Not sure when you need the colors for and if you have time to get more colors but I got this chart from Sugarbelle and it is awesome!
