New Purple? Not So Fast GM
Looks mighty close to me. 2025 looks like a strange Deja vu color year. GM seems to have lost its creativity when it comes to colors for 2025.

I predict the purple will be near the bottom of the list of 2025 color options.

Doesn't look like a version of "purple" I've ever seen.

Now this is the purple GM should have gone with. Had they done that it would have really made a statement to the sports car world.
Even the name makes a statement!

The new color does look very close to the '98 pace car color.

I like the new purple but for the ones who don’t I’m surprised the name “Barney” purple hasn’t come up? Sam

I think the 1998's problem is the FUGLY YELLOW accents/interior. I don't think Radar Blue was offered as a standalone color RPO 21U. Based on how many dingbats seem to want their C8 to be the same color as a Trax, Cacti seems to be doing much better than expected. It wouldn't surprise me to find the take rate on Hysteria to be a few ticks up from the bottom.
Corvette has always has a problem with insipid color options. I'd blame GM more--but the owners keep buying 80% of them in monochrome & RED. So here we are...
