Is that the Lakeshore color? Purple tint seems to give it away. I like that color, but am not sure about the purplish hue and tint. I am really unsure about what color to get.

I have Lakeshore and black interior and it is a great color. Has a slight metallic and looks hot after a bath. Have not noticed a purplish tint at all.

Yeah the car is Lakeshore Silver. It's been an awesome loaner for my TL! It's definitely my next vehicle.

The purple is only visible under certain lighting conditions, like the neon lighted gas station pics above. But I also noticed some purple on dingy overcast days.

I have had the Lakeshore/ebony since December last year, and it really doesn't have a significant purple hue.

Pictures 1 and 2 above are what to expect most of the time. In darker conditions, it tends to look darker and with a blue/gray look, as shown in picture 1. When the sun shines on it, it tends to go to a silver/gray look, shown in figure 2.

The picture in the gas station is really misleading. If you look at the reflection of the light in the windscreen it already looks purple, which exaggerates the purple hue given to the car. While there can be the hint of purple under the right conditions, it is nothing like the gas station picture. Take a look at the rear end of the car in picture 5...the one in the woodsy area...this kinda shows a "typical" purple hue.

Hope this helps

The great thing about Lakeshore Silver is that it looks completely different based on lighting and angle. Colors range from blue, to slate gray, to a violet similar to distant mountains, to a warm brownish gray. The depth of the metallic finish is amazing. I've had mine since December, and I never think of it purple, and it is always an interesting color. Of all of the colors, I find it to be the most sophisticated. Very classy.
