I saw the electric blue IX in regular daylight and it looked really nice. Went to the local dealer at dusk and checked out an electric blue IX and the thing looked purple. Does it change colors in different light? I don't want a blue car during the day and a purple car in the late afternoon.

 

Yes It looks purple depending on the light that hits it. It is due to the pearl in he paint. It gives you 2 colors in 1

 

bby > eb imo

 

If it was purple it would have been called electric purple.

simple

 

It has a very faint touch of purple if the light is right.
I find it a nice extra to an allready great color...

 

eb>bby You're just pissed b/c EB wasn't availble then and you have a Subi color on your evo

J/K whatever color floats your boat

 

true that!!! I would have the BBY if it was the one that was out when I bought mine...good thing i waited(except didn't wait long enough to get the monster that is the IX )

 

im pretty sure theres already a thread with a pole on which is favored and im also pretty sure BBY loses.

a pole which i personally agree with as well. lol

 

yeah that blue kicks ***, looks good on the civic si's
but the evo blue looks like the 350z blue and they dont look like purple at all i think

 

lol....

My two choices of acceptable colors for my car were BBY and Black. wasn't interested in the other colors. I don't hate EB, just love BBY.

 

Tarmac Blck has a hint of purple in the sunlight it's because of the type of pearl they used.....

 

red looks red, except after a wash then its too red!

 

Graphite Grey definitely does too, if you look at it right.

interesting i thought it was only GG that had this. Now im seeing you guys say TB and EB have it?

 

Must be some special purple clearcoat that helps Mitsubishi determine if they want to honor your warranty or not.

 

Heh, if you look closely at the tarmac black in direct sunlight, it has purple metallic flakes....and reminds me of those pro-bass boat hulls
