It varies from purple in sun to almost black in shade. It is a current panamera color. To each their own, but in person it is stunning.

I've always liked purple 911s. Aubergine early 911s, Amaranth 993 Turbos, Vesuvio 993 C4Ss or 996 C2s come to mind, and there are many more—as well as some that weren't so great. To each their own.

I like that, but I DREAM of owning a 911 in this color. (Adjusted in PS, you will probably never see this color on the road unless I solve my income problem and convince the PTS office that this has to become real.)

Plum Crazy is a solid color. That's a metallic, as close as I can get in PS to a DuPont color called "Amethyst Reflection".

Like ANY color, somebody loves it, somebody hates it, somebody just isn't enthralled by it.

Personally I'm no fan of yellow even if it's speed yellow. I prefer blues but blues are quite well represented and I'd want something a little more unusual.

Close to "Metallic Amethyst" which is on some 993 turbos.

I like that! Nice darker purple.

I like cars that are painted in colors usually found on poison arrow frogs.

Cars that are some shade of white-grey-black and less vivid colors just never catch my eye.

Give me a sample of your PTS color choice and I'll see if I can photoshop up something like it for you to look at.

I think the Amethyst Metallic car looks great. I love Porsches in unusual colors.
