ABP- Purple?

I have an ABP TL on order. 've seen it during the day and think the color is great. My concern with blue cars is that they sometimes looks purple in certain lights. I have not seen enough of the ABPs around to know if that is the case with the TL. Any thoughts?

Purple

Hi I have the ABP and I noticed it just a tad also. In certain light the car will look a bit purple. I think it is because it has the black NBP flakes in the paint.

Either way I still think the APB looks great.

I have the NBP which shows off blue metallic flakes during the day & night. Pretty neat.

Yes . . . I've also noticed the purple color effect when looking up close at a certain angle with a certain light level.

I wouldn't be concerned about this effect. The car will mainly show the beautiful deep blue color. I love this car . . . it's been a pleasure to drive, and I'm still in the breakin stage.

there's a dark blue metallic spray over a black base coat, then cleared. blue will show at night alot more than daytime. it's a neat paint job.

I would've gotten an ABP if it had come with ebony interior.
It is a beautiful color.

it's a paint technique, the car will shimmer in a different color at certain angles and in different lighting.

over white the car may look purple or orange, etc.

Orange/Copper a single color? Or do you mean a gradiant? I assumed the first.
