Default What color is this? (Gurus please)

I think its zyclamrot metallic, but this seems a touch darker... I absolutely love the color, so hopefully an old pro will be able to ID it.

I was going to say Cyclomenrot too but then I looked at the mirror and I think it is either Amethyst or a repaint to a custom color...

Barry,

BLUE82 is some kind of AWESOME CAR! Let me tell you...sometimes I just sit in it and enjoy the aroma of a BRAND NEW 928! It is just UNREAL!!! Sometimes I even take it out to play (like this past Saturday, I think we got within shouting distance of 100 even!)

James, that's just awesome! Sounds like you're the right guy to own that prize.

All,
Amethyst just looks a little lighter in color to me, but I'm only going off of the pictures from the landsharks website.
How about a similar color, even from another make, that might be like this color or even darker (I prefer that)?

Amethyst looks very different in different light conditions.

Yep - it can look almost black... it's a bit like amazon green metallic that can look green, blue, or black depending on the lighting.
