I don't agree ... at least I didn't until this morning. As far as I knew, Violet Blue 38H is listed as a non-metallic enamel and this car is definitely metallic. However, after digging a little deeper, I found a factory list of upcharge Exclusive colors that included such rarities as Orange Pearl L12S (remember the TrueSpeed Turbo?), Palladio Metallic L555 AND Lavender Blue Metallic 38H/W a.k.a. Violet Blue.
However, I want proof, so I'm laying down the gauntlet worldwide. Anybody that has the opportunity to verify the color name and code on an example in this color ... please do and post it up please!

Andymar .. do you ever see 993's in this color in Italy/Europe on the street or at shows? If so, can you take a peek at the inner fender paint code sticker for us sometime and post what you find here?

Rudy, love that color.
JZM? In your quest to make a jar of jelly beans out of your 993s, you are looking to import from UK? Nice! That's taking it to the next level...

It's different
Different is almost always better. I looked long and hard for my Yellow 993. I was perfectly content till I saw Riviera Blue in person..Awesome. Now I am always on the prowl for one.
Now this purple metallic with the silver under tone reminds me of a VW Corrado I owned years ago. Things that make you go hmmmmm. Love this color really shows off the swooping lines of the 993.
