Which types of car suit purple paint?
Theoretically, it works to treat purple the same way one might consider blues. In other words, darker, richer tones will suit luxury saloons and palatial SUVs better, especially if they are festooned with chrome-look exterior trim, while smaller hatchbacks and sportier coupes are more likely to carry off brighter, bolder hues successfully. Either way, it’s not a colour chosen by shrinking violets.
So why ‘theoretically’? Because very few car companies offer it just now as it appears to be an unfashionable choice.
Are there different types of purple paint?
Yes, but this is purely dependent on the very limited availability of purple paint and its derivatives. Wind the clock back to the 1990s and solid lilacs were very much in vogue, while a decade or two before that deep purple was all the rage, especially in a metallic finish.
Given that upmarket brands, including Audi, BMW and Mercedes offer colour-sampling options, with a variety of finishes, including matte paint, you could still choose purple for a new car, but at considerable expense.
Why should I buy a purple car?
Given purple has centuries-old connections with wealth and royalty, you may choose purple to reflect your appreciation of life’s luxuries, but given its limited availability these days, you could be waiting a long time for a used car that matches your wants and needs to appear.
Are there any disadvantages to owning a purple car?
Given its rarity, the chances are that whatever car you choose, it will stand out and attract attention in purple, which might not be exactly what you are after.
As purple isn’t presently a popular colour, this might cause issues at the time you decide to sell it, whether that be a lack of interest from prospective buyers or its paint being used as a bargaining chip to drive the price down.
