GT4 What color purple is this?

JayG · 10-25-2011, 05:37 PM

Curiosity has gotten the best of me and now I want to know what color this is. I am doing bodywork on my gt4 and getting it ready for a respray. I started a few weeks ago and noticed my red/black boxer theme is not original but the original color is some sort of purple. Huh, oh well, I thought but now I am intrigued. A purple/black boxer trim would look good on one of these as I like the darker colors on them and after all the most famous of all Dino's is purple.

So what color is it do you think? I searched and couldn't find any images close to this. This is by the taillights and the biggest swatch of color I had left so sorry for the rough example. Bye bye red paint perhaps?

Thanks guys!

Don't know if this is original but its 70s and purple all right. Viola scuro?

Never seen it before, but it looks awesome.

Jay- Sounds like Viola Dino Metallizzato, FER 106-R-71 (106-A-71 in some sources).
