Kona Purple
Does anyone else have a good shot of the color-changing properties of the Kona Blue paint?
I took this one a while back...not the most flattering picture but it's one of the few that captures both colors at once.
FWIW, the colors in the picture are just about exactly how it looked with the naked eye. The low sun angle seems to be the determining factor.
I love the color of this car...and before you say anything, remember that purple muscle cars have a long history.

The best way I've been able to see the different shades is at night under certain lighting. There's a local car wash here with florescent lighting that makes the colors pop. It reminds me of the mystic green the Cobra got painted almost with the different shades. The first night I saw that gave me a whole new appreciation for Kona.

I wonder if that particular flourescent lighting has a strong UV component...

I'll check mine out next time it's under flourescent lights...though the lights at your car wash sound like they might be special...Anyway, like you, mine goes to bed for the winter...not telling how much longer we'll have these nice/reasonably warm days and dry/salt free roads!!
