Deep Impact Blue can look purple
 

Had the new Mustang in the garage and it looked really purple in the garage light so I tried to capture it with my phone camera. The garage picture is pretty crappy and does not show how really purple it looks but you can see the difference. kind of interesting, I like it.

Big mess in the garage I know.

I noticed the same thing at the dealer. When in full sun it looks more blue, when in shade it looks more purple like Kona.

More evidence I picked the right color ^_^

Can't wait to see it in person.

Nonsense

this is why i hated my tundra with almost identical color. i LOVED the brighter blue... but on rainy cloudy days the purple made me feel blue :(

nothing wrong with purple

I get that a lot with my sonic blue... Drives me crazy

That's a haunted garage

My Laser Blue GMC seems to look purple a lot especially when its wet, my 5yr old calls it Blurple.

This color looks awesome

It's the awful dealer sticker that is making it purple.

Mines ordered but I had friends of mine say the same thing just looking at the brochure

Yea mine looks purple in garage and at dusk. Its still an awesome color. I love it.

Either way Sir, that's one beautiful car you've got there.

Haha! That was my first request post ordering... NO DEALER BADGES!

Kona blue did the same thing.

It's caused by the type of flakes used in the metallic paint. The flakes use a prismatic effect to create the color. What color they reflect depends on the thickness of the flake.

The thing is, it's all designed around normal midday sunlight. If you get a setting sun, or under some types of lighting where the light is heavily shifted towards the red end of the spectrum then the color reflected back by the flakes is purple rather than blue, which makes the whole car look purple.

My Kona has never looked purple.

So proud of you!

Sure it has. you've just never paid attention.

This is the hood of my Kona Blue. I took this specifically to show how the slight change in angle causes the paint to look purple at the top.
