Help with string identification (maybe TI flats?)

Hi all - found a set of "orphan" strings on my shelf - flats with lavender silk on both ends. I did have a set of TI's at one point and am wondering if this is them. Definitely not purple but light lavender.

Thx for the help!

TI flats have red silk I think. Trying to picture my Fenders in my head...

I think they're GHS Precision flats.

Pix would help the most.

Actually change that! GHS are silked only on the tuner end.

Maybe Optima Maxima strings? They're kind of purple-ey.
