Default Rubystone Red?

Is this really rubystone red? It looks more like Purple. Anyone know this car?

Well, I am due for another 964 and its in my price range but I am not sure about that color, living with it everyday. Anyone on here have an Amethyst Metallic 964?

Great color in person. A PCA friend in Potomac Region has one with the two tone white and burgundy leather. Beautiful car. He was entertaining selling it. Low mileage car.

The pics Andy Roe has on the link in his signature look really nice. Great colour I think.

There was one where I am recently, regret not having a look now it's sold.

i had a raspberry red wtl cab in vancouver....wife/i bought it specifically for the color. these jellybean metallics go through a whole range of shades depending on light conditions & good wax job results in an amazing "deep" mirror finish.

relocation back to japan forced sale....& from my experience they are tough to sell.

would i buy m&m'd color again....unlikely - i would stick to traditional colors (unless perhaps it was a turbo or i won the lottery & could afford a lambo).

it would be best to see it in person, particularly on a sunny day. i think the color you are considering will have a range of shades but be very purple indeed.
