We need to see some pics of this color...
First allow me to confess that I am a purple person. I drive a Purple Haze JCW MINI Cooper S. Purple is my favorite color.
I have been reading this thread and have also been curious about this new CnB color. Yesterday I was out so I headed over to the big showroom CnB in Uptown. They had a new blue/purple performer set up in the front of the store and at first glance it is blue. The lighting in that section of the store was blocked a bit by a awning display so I had to remove the lid and bring it to another part of the store for a better look. It is indeed purple. It was overcast yesterday so i didnt get it out into the sunlight but i did what I could to get some pics. I started looking around that area and pulled a bunch of colored items to get a color comparison and the floor girl came over and asked if I needed some help. I told her I was checking out the new special color and trying to get some good color pics and the lighting in the store and my iPhone camera wasnt getting a good color shot. I had an idea and went to a paint store around the corner and grabbed some color chips for a color comparison to give you guys.
these next 2 shots are showing a bit of shading difference when playing with the HDR function on my phone.
I hope this gives everyone a better idea whats up. This kettle is an interesting color. Its blue in the shade but has a metallic metal flake in it that gives off a hint of fuchsia and when layered on top of the blue brings enough red for a sense of purple. Its difficult to describe but I cant place my finger on whether I like it or not. Its not a shade of purple that I gravitate towards. This is more blue than purple, but purple is a color you either love or hate. Im on the fence on this one. Ill have to go back when its sunny and see it in the sunlight.
