It can look purple under different lighting.
It really does depend on the lighting/cloud cover.
The day I walked into the dealership to try the mustang on (I am 4'10" and most cars don't fit) I was wearing a dark purple coat. The salesman handed me the keys and said he had a purple car for me. The car hasn't looked that color since. Often it is a shade of blueberry. The color even shifts when walking around it.
The car fit and she is now mine. It was the only 2015 within a 5 hour drive that was what I wanted. The only other color I wanted was white. Now I have to pick stripe colors.

I know, old post, but LOL! Because a couple years ago the guy from the gas company showed up to inspect my kitchen gas line install. First thing he said when I opened the front door was " Who ownes the purple monster in the driveway?" :lol:

Wow brought back from the dead lol.

When you put D.I.B next to a real purple car. Then no it doesn't look purple in any light. 2 of my mustangs.

Hell, the new Kona Blue has a LOT more purple in it than Deep Impact. My dad has a Deep Impact Blue Fusion, and I don't see any purple in it whatsoever

It can look purple under different lighting.
Around Dusk, if the sunset and sky are turning red, then yes, that sort of lighting does tend to make the purple come out. Even in low light, it's still more blue than purple.

In the Daytime/Sunlight.... meh, I'm going to say you can still see it, but it's not so much in the actual paint as it seem DIB has a tinted clearcoat.

Perhaps in certain photos with certain lighting in can look slightly purple. In real life, I say no. My car has never looked purple to me.

Agreed. I was surprised how much purple was in Kona blue (parked next to Lighting Blue at the dealer).

It has a purple cast in the right light, but very subtle. Most of the time my car looks decidedly blue to me.

Yeah, I've heard a few people say DIB and/or Kona look purple to them... but I see them as deep/rich blues myself.

I've been asked if my car was purple. I'm like no its Deep Impact Blue Metallic. When its really clean it gives off a purple hue depending on the light.

Before I ordered my car I saw one on a cloudy day and it did nothing for me. Then I seen one in the sun and other lighting and the purple really popped out and I'm still wishing I had that or any other color than black!:headbonk:

In person it's not really purple, it's most definitely deep blue unless you are slightly color blind. And I'm not saying that to be rude, I know a lot of people have issues in the deep blue / purple area of the color spectrum.

Wouldn't surprise me that it could look purplish in the right lighting though, which is a different story. Under the lights in parking decks my dad's Grabber Orange looks straight up yellow, and under street lamps my White Platinum looks very silver. This stuff happens!
