    It looks slightly brighter, and a little more purplely.     :2cents:

    It is really hard to tell shades of colors in photographs, but it does look like a darker shade of purple to me.

    Are those both of the same car?  I wouldn't trust the indoor shot.  The camera can do some funny things when you take a picture of a car inside while standing outside.

    Here we go. Always judge a vehicles true color in the sunlight. Forget the indoor shot. I want to ask you a question - just to HELP. What is your concern about the color issue? Are you buying the car and you want it 100% correct? It doesn't look far off to me. Pictures are very deceiving.

    I don't want it too look to obvious when you walk up to it and say--wow--is that supposed to be Plum Crazy Purple????  I don't want a "why did he do THAT" kind of car.... If it's REALLY close I would be OK, but the EBAY link I posted looks different--and possibly more correct.

    I don't blame you at all. Maybe he just purchased a bad mix at the paint store. Too light to dark happens all of the time. Ask him straight up and tell him your concern.

    I had some nightmares back in the collision days. Nothing like a bad match. It's nice to have it PERFECT every time but the world isn't perfect.

    I know that...did you, by chance, look at the EBAY link a few posts up?? That one seems to be less purple. Was that closer to "correct"
