Oh god those pictures still don't prove it to you!? I can debate with people who have a sense of logic but this is just plain and simple borderline ignorance.

Look at the shaded parts on this picture, you can already see it is very dark and the whole car in general is a darker violet/purple color:


You are kidding yourself if you think Amethyst shows even the slightest hint of purple in anything but the strongest sunlight, and that purple is always a light purple. The car in the shade is a Platinum Graphite color with no signs of purple at all unlike the car in G35Chick's pictures. This is expected as the full name of the color is Amethyst GRAPHITE (ie. dark grey), not Amethyst Purple. You can even tell from the shots I posted before that the Amethyst is much lighter than the car in her pictures.



Yes these are all Amethyst, notice the complete lack of any violet color? at least you should be able to admit that. If the car in GChick35's pics was Amethyst, the car would be dark grey in the shade, which it quite obviously is not. The car is Blue Slate, or maybe you're right and grey for some reason can look dark purple

 

Not to jump into a pissing match, but the car GChick35 posted is Athens Blue.

 

Yes, it is probably Athens Blue after Orbie pointed out the shade argument that I overlooked. However, it is definitely not Blue Slate as Orbie said. I know this for sure since my sister has a Blue Slate G35S and it does not have any shade of "purple/light blue" at all under any lighting condition.

 

N50, I don't know if you're just trying to make me rip my hair out but...





At least Sweeet P was somewhat close in that Amethyst has some purple in it, Athens blue is a pure blue no purple.

 

LOL. No, not unless you want to. Blue Slate or Athens Blue it doesn't really matter.

 

No the car is definitely Maroon with shades of orange...


You can't be serious!
Under high sun exposure colors can fade a great deal when photographed.

Note the very high brightness (white hue) in the picture and then apply this value to any dark color, it could result in a much lighter tone. Athens is a different shade of blue, No shade of grey have a blue tone unless they used a blue filter on the camera.

 

Haha, I'm really trying not to. I can see where the posters in this thread are coming from though, I mean it's really hard to believe that Blue Slate could look like that, it could also be the camera as well. Or maybe it's not Blue Slate, maybe it's some mystery color, maybe the batch it was painted with was messed up in some way. I just know that the G37 has three colors with any blue/purple in them, and it definitely is not Athens or Amethyst so to me that only leaves the one.

 

It looked like a Bentley CGT to me...

 

This is funny!

 

Uhh.....the complete lack of any violet is due to the fact that the color of the car is Platinum Graphite and has no violet at all.

 

1 - Blue Slate
2 - Amethyst Graphite
3 - Platinum Graphite

4 & 5 - GChick35's pics

Honestly...which one looks the most like the pics GChick35 posted??

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amethyst

"Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz often used as an ornament"

 

And....as far as the Athens Blue argument...no.

The car in this pic, to me, looks like GChick35's pic. Can not be Athens Blue. You know how I know....there's a Athens Blue right next to it! And please don't say..."Well...the sunlight does not hit both cars evenly."

Of course...ORBIE is gonna say that the car is Blue Slate...even though the car is the pic is lighter than the Athens Blue one.

 

Don't even go there! Besides it's a Bentley GTC not CGT.

Never compare Grey Poupon with ketchup...Friend!

 

Blue slate is one of those colours which looks different all the time due to different conditions.

For example on a dark day (cloudy) the Grey shows more and on a bright day, the blue shows more.

But Athens Blue is easily noticeable from the other colours
