Default New guy here with a question!

Hey all-
My first post here. First of all, nevermind my user name! LOL I know it doesnt really fit for this forum. I am 16 years old, and I live in Sacramento, CA. I currently working on painting my car. I have all the prep, primer, body work, and everything else done. Only thing I have to do is shoot the actual paint. I was originally going to go with black(original color of car), but have always wanted a purple car(yeah what a sissy huh!? lol). I could never find a deep enough purple that I liked, until I saw a dark purple WS6 yesterday. I had seen the color before but never thought of painting my car this color. Well, I am settled on this color now and will be buying the paint in this next week or so. My question is this....what is the color code for this? I have looked all over online and cannot find any information on paint codes. The color is SUPER dark purple, and has some really fine pearl(i think its pearl) in it. When the sun hits it, it kind of looks blue if the sun hits it just right. Any ideas of the color code for this color?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
THANKS A BUNCH!
Kyle

You can try this link: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/paintcodes.htm It has a lot of codes but I'm not sure if the paint code your looking for is in here or not. Good Luck and Welcome!

Edit: Was not in the first link and I didn't see purple here either but you can try.

Did you find the color? Are you sure is was dark purple or Navy Blue Metallic? That's the color I have and sometimes in certain light it looks like a shade of purple. My friend with an SS makes fun of me sometimes and calls it the "purple fairy" (I call it the "Purple People Eater" in defense..it does look purple at times) but he knows his place...6 cars behind. Kind of a dual tone but not truely.
