Default Jet Black Metallic, Purple in the sun?
Finally saw this color in the sun today. Had a purple element to it. Does anyone see it like that?
Under cloud cover it looks more black to me, and i've never seen it indoors.

Makes sense. The old Basalt Black Metallic was the same.

I HATE that colour. I would go straight black instead.
