Its definately not as pink as the photo shows, bright sun brings out the pinkyness a bit but its usually more purple than that, especially on darker days it has a blueish tone to it.

As a comparison, here are some pics of the same car when it was in the shed (before we backed it out into the sun):

That pic is way more accurate than the bright pink one. The pinkyness only really shows in very bright sunlight.

Yeah its definately a lot different to the outside shots, shows that there is a lot of change in the paint in different lights. You cant really see it in these shots but in some lights and angles it even looks a very pale blue, because the pearl thru it shows up.

CSV_LS1 has just shown how tough it can look with the GT-P 19's!

i dont mind it, even in the bright sunlight pictures

ford are getting very creative with the colors these days, and the colors they release are the kinds of colors you expect to see on fully customised cars.

this color would be a good choice for a really feminine chick, or even a guy who isn't afraid to stand out....

i've seen WRXs in these kinds of colors, and they look hot, especially with chrome wheels.

I was at HillisFord yesterday when the car was backed out - it was backed out so I could have a look at it in the sunlight, and I can vouch for the fact that the colour in the photos is very accurate. It has blue pearl through the paint which stands out well in the sunlight - but having had a Mulberry XB GT several years ago, I reckon Mulberry is a bit darker (more purple) and definitely a nicer colour than Menace.....

By the way back2thefutura, were you one of the guys in the detailing shed when Byrnesy showed me the car and asked for it to be backed out to have a look in the sunlight?

man this is sooo a repost.

I just went past it again today, I cant even see how females could like that colour.

That shot is in full sunlight, it gets a tad darker than that; doesn't help it much though.
