From some angles on really blue sky days, my tungsten 07 GT looks ...well....periwinkle if we go by crayola colors. WTF Ford!?! I thought it would be more of a warm gray. a few people have commented on it being purple, including a body shop guy...

yep, lots of shades of red will look orange under artificial lighting. in fact, most colors will appear differently in artificial light when compared to natural sunlight.
