Re: What color is this?
I think that color is what is often referred to as solid black. The tiny purple hint you see in some places is probably not actually a characteristic of the color of the car, but is from the filtered photo light it's illuminated with.

Re: What color is this?
I have seen a motorbike with a similar colour.I think it was Candy paint.Where you spray a basecoat of silver and then overcoat this with a tinted clearcoat.I would imagine the clearcoat in this case has a purple tint to it which gives it its colour.

Re: What color is this?
Why not just email them and ask , to get the correct colour?
Have done before mainly looking for ref images and go straight to the maker or in the case of a race team gone to the team it self , you might be amazed at the results . The only bad one that have had or no response is from Marco Melandri (must be still out to lunch)  opcorn: Shayne

Re: What color is this?
I'm not sure if we are all seeing the same colour at the link but the one I see is a kinda "eggplant" (aubergine).
I've had similar results spraying Tamiya mica red over Black and other dark basecoats. Regards, Dan

Re: What color is this?
Looks like Midnight purple to me. It looks black with purple on the angles.
Thats my guess.

Re: What color is this?
I think this is a situation where it is really hard to give you an answer based on the picture. On my home computer I would agree with MPWR, it is solid black, nothing more nothing less. However on my work computer (not that I surf AF at work or anything
 ) it looks a very different color - more like a dark (possibly candy) purple. Not knowing how it looks on your monitor  , it's hard to say what color you're seeing.

Re: What color is this?
Ah, I guess that explains it. I really couldn't understand what you people were smoking. I had begun to wonder if this was one of those online personallity tests -are you an optimist or pessimist, do you see a (this) or a (that)? Or maybe, the color you see = the color of your soul!
