Found this photo on Facebook, posted by a dealer. I figure it's available via a Google search and not protected so it's fair game.
This looks darker and more purple than the dealer color chip I saw, and it looks much darker (and less purple) than the computer illustration dealers got with their 2014 materials. Sorry I do not have images of either of those items. Point being I've seen three representations of the color from Cadillac and they all look significantly different, so it's hard to say what this color is going to look like in real life.
Yeah, I've seen the Twitter pic too -- I don't see any color in that at all, do you? See what I mean about looking different from one image to the next?
I'm still hoping it will look more like purple and less like you washed a new red t-shirt with your darks. I know a lot of people like those slightly-colored beige metallics because they don't show dirt (which is to say they always look dirty), but I can't help but think manufacturers believe they're offering actual colors.
Majestic Plum Metallic will be very interesting to see--it has great potential, if it's done correctly, as a fabulous color for any of the announced ATS models (including the upcoming Coupe or Convertible)!
Great...just what we need.... another black type color....:yawn: How about a Tuscan Bronze (special CTS color at one time) , true Turquoise, anything but another black color....
Just enough to make you feel adventerous, not enough to hurt resale or get noticed beyond the other 'too dark to see' colors that are rampt in this industry.
Here's a mind blowing proposisition; colors are supposed to catch your eye! Not suck all life and air away from it's surroundings. All luxury brands (except maybe Audi, thank you imola yellow, nogaro blue and laser red) spend way too much time trying to invent a new wheel and forget that this is going to be on the exterior of a 30-50K vehicle
That's why I loved Black Diamond Tricoat. There's no way you could possibly miss a 4,000lb bass-boat with 4 wheels in the sunlight. Ultimately though, it's still business black the other 70% of the time.
I get it, some people just want to blend into the crowd and get to the grocery store, or maybe they like to wear their car with sophistication like a fine piece of jewerly. That's fine, there's nothing wrong with that. All I'm saying is, if you buy a car with a color that has less character than a 15 year old camaro, you're doing it wrong. Please just go buy a maxima.
They're rampant because they sell better. The sad truth is that if you like bold eye-catching color on your second-most-expensive purchase, you are a small minority these days... and you're more likely to be looking at a sexy two-seater.
There's just way too much metallic dirt out there.
I saw a bunch a photos on cars.com and I don't really like it.
It's a bit too gray and makes the purple look too flat.
