first of all you have to have a violet, or a green-violet bird . violet is a co dominate gene so no bird can be split to violet and if you breed it to a blue bird you can get violet birds it is best not to beed violets to other dominate or ino mutations because they can mask the violet gene for example if you breed violet with grey the babies could look grey but be violet or if with albino have white babies that are really violet either way the only way to know if they are violet would be by breeding them and see what their offspring are

I think the best way to breed violets is to find a violet male and a violet female, then you can breed Double factor violets or you can get a violet male and pair him to a blue female.
