A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Hehe :)
I didn't know we had butterflies in Denmark, that could be so difficult to ID...
I have learned something new :D
Look at this one from above: Also only brownish not really bright purple.

White margin: might be enhanced by the light. Looks like being quite a fresh example.
The flickr photo is very close to mine, but it has a slight red glow, which mine hasn't. But the cream/yellow part is almost identical, so I think you are right :)
It's not in any of my books about danish butterflies, thats why I couldn't ID it. I don't think it's common around here.
I have looked at your links and it's not easy to ID it, despite I have the opportunity to enlarge the photo.
I'll try and look at the new links you have sent :)
Purpuralis sounds and look like it's not completely brown, but this one is very brown and darkcream coloured.
It is obviously not serious to ID this one from a picture. I would have tent to Pyrausta purpuralis. I don't know about the prevalence of Purpuralis and Aurata in Denmark.

Excellent site with criterias to separate. Sorry, I had a heavy day and will have tomorrow another one... Should say Ciao!
Little bit dark. I think it is Crambidae. Pyraustinae? Pyrausta sp.? Pyrausta aurata? I miss some more "aurata" behind the head... A lot of ??? I know, but maybe you get some hints... Good luck!
