Black Amethyst paint

[craigjm]

Has anyone got pictures of their car in black amethyst? I am looking for some close up shots of the paintwork to see the pigmentation as most pics I have been able to find on the internet are in lighting where it simply looks black and I want to see how purple it is in sunlight.

Thanks

Thanks Brin, would you say this is representative of it in sunlight....



Im looking at respraying my 1975 XJ coupe and was looking for a modern black that is more interesting than Ultimate / Midnight so the option is of Amethyst or its replacement Blackberry but i can find even less pictures of that!

have you thought about the 80/90s colours moroccan red or black cherry?

Black cherry looks quite good

Looks a bit brown to me. I want a purple feature. Wonder how the new Blackberry differs from amethyst

Cheers Dickie, i might have to think again. Back to the drawing board I think

Most of the pictures of Caviar i have seen look brown and that was my experience in the metal too.

Jaguar used to use a colour called Morello cherry on the top end cars. I recall this could definitely be seen to have colour in it.

Yeah this is Morello Cherry

Wondering what colour this is -



Might also be Morello Cherry

Have a look at amarenth pearl. Thats a Jag colour they stopped doing in about 2000. Sometimes looks black but more often pruple but gets great comments in the flesh.

That might be a good call
