VW do a blackberry. Our campervan which we're picking up next Friday is in blackberry.

Seems to be a colour offered in all VAG brands, but only on specific models and trim levels. It's a fairly exclusive colour, from what I can gather.

When I was into Vauxhall's a few years ago, one of the nicest (and rarest) colours you could get the Vectra B in was Persia Red.

I was being a bit lazy yesterday, giving a colour name but no picture....

Mazda Radiant Ebony looks like this....

TVR did Rolex Blue, which was a very nice dark purple. If you want something brighter they did Purple Paradise.

Alfa do one, can't remember what it was called though, either fire or volcano black I think.

Etna?

Seat Leon Cupra inferi black - maybe a bit dark though!

Not sure what the colour is called, but P1 OOV is a lovely shade of purple. Quite difficult to find a picture which shows it off though...

[shielsy]

Update... Apparently it's called Amethyst Black and here's a better picture

Audi "cherry black" is a nice one.

Skyline colour is called "midnight purple"

Possibly which is why I have discounted a few for being too lairy from the list that has been produced so far. Ive seen a car in Porsche Amethyst today and its too in your face. I am really looking for something that looks black most of the time but purple in the right light. Jaguar Amethyst should in theory fit the bill but you need to get it into very bright sunlight to see anything other than black and in the UK thats not gonna happen more than 2 days a year
