the amethyst looks more realistic in this image also.

All I can think of is grape Fanta. I love Amethyst metallic. The only color for which I would gladly pay the $12,830 Porsche tax.

Both Amethyst and Viola are fantastic colors in my opinion!

I have a Spyder incoming in July (thanks to CXX as well) in Amethyst metallic (M4Z). Did the silver stitching and bright silver wheels of course.

Wow, that sounds amazing! I wish you were getting it this month so I could see it before my configuration locks down!

i think one thing that stood out to me after seeing the above referenced GT4 in person (Beaverton Porsche is my dealership too), is that if the car isn’t in direct Sun or really bright light, both Amethyst and Viola look essentially black… even on a cloudy day. I’m ok with that, but most photos online are well lit. Consider googling the color and looking at some of the cars under shade.

Vesuvio is also another great purple color. My wife had it on a 1999 996

Porsche did a custom 991.2 GT3 for Bobby Rahal. The paint & all the CXX options it had was remarkable actually. Probably one of the most expensive ordered GT3's Porshe has ever done.
Purple isn't my favourite, but that car is beautiful. He had it up for sale a while back, not sure if he still has it.

Does anyone in the Maryland/DC/Northern Virginia/Southern Pennsylvania area happen to have a car painted in this color that my wife and I could come and see in person?
This just arrived at my local dealer. It's a PTS Amethyst Metallic GT4. Might help you decide.

the colour really does change with the light. The purple pops in the direct sunlight and goes for Black > Gentian > Amethyst.
