Lets play guess that color..?

I work at a local car wash and this came through today. It's a 2010 GT Auto. Anyone ever see this purple color before? Not my cup of tea but it looked nice. Like Plum Crazy. Haha

Looks a lot like Plum Crazy used on Mopars.

I am 99% sure it was a factory paint color, it didn't look aftermarket no overspray or anything.

Is it a ford custom one?

Four theories:

1.) If you get a fleet order of a certain size together, Ford will paint the car any color you want. I'm not sure of the minimum size of a fleet for a unique color...but it might not be all that big. So that's one posisble answer.

2.) Custom paint job. The choice of wheels definitely indicates some questionable taste

3.) This is a Ford test color car? There are cases where one or two examples of a test paint color is made prior to production. For example. there are a handful of famous early Miatas in some oddball factory colors. A mint/aqua green, a raspberry colored one, etc.. My favorite is the "Sunkist" car which comes in a paint very similar to competition orange...stunning.

4.) This is actually Kona Blue under one of the low-angle lighting conditions that makes it look straight-up purple, as has been documented.

Regardless, I like it.

Behold: Kona Purple

Could the car above be in just the right conditions so the whole thing looks purple??

NO! It was not kona blue. My friend has a kona blue and I know the difference. My co-worker even asked, what's up with the purple mustang?

This thing was purple.
