For those curious, if you want a really vibrant color, I'd recommend Bitter Truth's Violet liqueur. I also recommend Rothman & Winters for a softer flavor. Giffard also makes a decent creme de violette at a cheaper price that still has a decent quality.
After all, aviations only use a quarter ounce of the stuff, the gin is the biggest influence on the taste.

It tasted normal. I was just surprised by the color. Usually it’s a much deeper purple.

I just had an Aviation for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Splendid.

Could it be Parfait Amour? The Bols version I have is deep blue.
