The lilac capacitors from RS seem to come (did come) in 2 different shades; those that resembled Dubilier and those that resembled Matsushita. I did wonder if they were connected in any way apart from the lilac colour!
Farnell later stocked the matsushita caps but in blue, and Maplin stocked the dubilier ones in red and dark violet.
I sometimes buy Dubilier from Mouser but these days they are known as CDE.

Any experience of Wurth caps ? I don't think they have doing them long , traditionally they have been mainly an inductor manufacturer. They do an interesting range of Aluminium Organic Polymer Capacitors that use solid electrolyte so don't dry out.
