Official Hysteria Purple Metallic Color Thread

Ok guess will get this thread going. I am scheduled to do a museum delivery on my 2025 Hysteria Purple 2LT Z51 on October the 14th. Got contacted by the museum that my car is at the museum, and they will do the dealer installed options like side extensions etc. Asked if it was possible to get some pics and my buddy Becky (she is the best friend to have )_ sent me some pics to tease me.. So here are some pics and will post more after the delivery in a little over a week enjoy.

Nice build. I love the new Z51 wing. It makes me wish I had waited for the 2025.

Congrats. Hope to see more pics when you get there. Keep them coming. I think the more people see this color it will start to turn heads.

Looks like the C6 LeMans blue in these pics. I hope thats the case. Still on the fence as to what colour my ZR1 is going to be.

…is it me, is it the angle of the pic, or does the splitter look like it’s thicker than the ‘20-‘24 OEM splitter?

Splitter on my ‘24.

I agree it does look different but that could be due to the specific angle from which it was shot and image distortion. My MY23 splitter in this shot looks sort of like an in-between of the HP car and yours:

To drive my point home on image distortion, notice how my car looks like it has different rear diffusers depending how the image was shot (lens curvature, zoom, and aperture). I didn't even move the car to a different background between shots. All four tires remain unmoved in the same position parked in front of the same buildings/trees/streetlight pointed at the same directional heading:

GM's fleet order guide comprehensively outlines the 2025 changes and I see none for the Z51 splitter:

Maybe it is just my eyes. If somebody asked me and I didn't know any better, I would say that is dark blue like my X5 and RAM truck.

It's more blue than purple for sure. Saw it in person at Carlisle. Others said it looks like the 98 Pace Car color. I'd agree. Can't wait to see it on the road in bright sunlight.

I saw it in person at Carlisle and it is way more blue than any shade of purple. Regardless, congrats to the OP!!!

Now, if this (below) was the color purple, I would have one on order....
