Hi All,please help view and confirm whether this is the Darkest Purple Dodge Charger (looks more plum).
I do not have any other specimens to compare so ive uploaded 3x pics for u to help determine.
Thanks in advance.

The colour shades of this model are very hard to judge from pictures.

This is a daylight picture of the two shades of purple I have in my collection:



Yours seems even darker than both of these, and a little more "red" and less "purple", but I am by no means sure. (It also seems darker than any other - magenta or red or pink - ones I have in my collection.)

I have only two to compare, but neither is as dark as yours in the photos.

As it should say in the listing text on Nick´s site, it looks like you do indeed have the darkest #52 which matches the standard colour of the SF19 Lotus F1 and the next darkest match the purples of the 22 Pontiac GP.

Here are some comparison pictures between the #52 Charger, #22 Pontiacs and the #19 Lotus Racer. I consider the two Chargers on the right to be purple, with the darkest shade (with label) to be the hardest to find. It is a nearly identical shade to the darkest #22 Pontiac I have. My #19 Lotus Racers are all a similar Burgundy color, and are close, but slightly more red in hue. I have seen other shades on the #19 racer which have more violet undertones and I think is the same shade at the darker Pontiac and Charger (don't have one to compare).

Based on your pictures, I am thinking you do have the darkest shade of purple.

Thank u very much David & Christian for these lovely comparison pics and notes and know that i appreciate your time & effort.Thanks to Miculee & Sms88 also for your input.
I did compare my Dark Purple Pontiac pics but this Purple Charger is deeper/much darker in color...more plum.I would have had more to say/explain if i knew what candycoats & undertones etc means.
Could other members on here give us some other comparison pics & input please!!
Thanks again,
Regards

Does look very dark Numi, I will have to dig my Chargers out and have a look. J

Hi Numi,

Interesting...in that case, it would appear either I do not have the darkest shade of Charger or you do not have the darkest shade of Pontiac. I can only comment on my own models and I will say I have pursued Pontiac shades with some enthusiasm and there are many different shades among the "dark purple" Pontiac. I kept thinking I had the darkest one and then I would still find a darker one. I have decided there are two major shade differences on the 'dark' purple Pontiac; a more violet shade some people call mid-purple and a much deeper, purple. But there are subtle shades in between. However, I have not pursued the purple Charger shades as intently and I may need to do some more purple charger hunting. If we keep trying to pin this down, maybe we can make your dark purple Charger almost mythical
