I'm not sure if you're asking what color to paint your car or what car to buy. I'm a blue fan and don't care for purple. As for those two cars, the blue still wins because I prefer coupes over verts.

I used to drive a Black Cherry (burgandy/purple) 1990 Talon. Loved the color.

Blue all day long and twice on Sunday.

Maroon/Burgundy/purple whatever you want to call it is the most overused boring color in the car world.

Orange! No, really, the blue is more long term friendly.
