Default Is mrm pretty much purple?

Was thinking about getting an MRM car, but after seeing it in certain light. It looks purple? Just curious if its an obvious purple, or just me?

It's just you. It's maroon/burgandy. There's no purple to it.

Man, you've gotta change your sig picture. I keep seeing it and for a second the windshield of the car behind yours looks like a big *** spoiler. Almost looks like you own a batmobile. LOL

If the B in NBM stands for blue and R in MRM stands for red why are we questioning all of this? These colors can be misleading but at the end of the day are they not more blue or red then purple. Look at the purple from the 1998 F bodies the P in BPM clearly stands for purple.

NBM is not purple but it can appear so in parts in certain light. Its like highlights in hair i guess, you can have brown hair with orange highlights...i dunno im not a hair expert but its the only comparison i could think of right now...
