Mine is coming in sometime soon (hopefully). The dealership here has trouble keeping them in stock so I went ahead and signed my name to the blackberry pearl because I wasn't a fan of the red ones they had on the lot. Online it looks like a dark blue, but in some of the pictures it appears to be purple.

Anyone have some well-lit shots of their BBP?

 

Its definitely dark purple...there are a few on here, just search.

A Whole Thread

Congrats on the purchase!

 

Ah thanks. I found a few but they all seemed to be very poorly lit. I suppose I can survive with purple.

 

nice another so-cal member. welcome!

 

welcome!
cant wait to see ur BURPLE fit

 

BBP FITS FTW!... believe me you will love the color...

 

yeaaaah i have a BBP. i love it. it is purple. dark sometimes, way purple other times. just really depends on the...lighting. but yeah it's awesome. Here's some pics of my umeko :

anyway, welcome to the BBP family!

 

ah, BBP, how i lust after you in all your purple-y goodness....

(i talked about trading mine in for one once and my MR started to make a really bad smell as revenge, so i can't discuss it anymore )

anyways, congrats!

 

BBP is a super dark purple i think. But like most of the Fit colors, always looks different in different lightings.

 

It is definitely BOTH blue and purple. Like mentioned above, it really depends on the lighting but it is more than just a single color. It is a 'Pearl' paint so when she sits in direct sunlight you can see different color flecks in the paint. There is a dark navy base (whether it is navy blue or navy purple is up to you), on top of that there are what seem to be VBP and MR color flecks as well as some silver for the extra eye-catching factor.

Whatever color you decide to call it is up to you. All I know is that it was the best color choice I had at time of purchase.

 

I really want to see someone crack the case of the mystery BBP lighting. I have yet to see a photograph capture the purple element of this color. They always look blue.

 

See this shot where it's dark purple at the front, then transition to dark blue at the back. Jump back to page 8 in that thread for close-up shots of the speckle in the paint.

Very cool, it sold me on the colour (doubt I can get it though ).

 

Yeah, youre right you can definitely see it in the close up on page 8. Love this color. I should be getting mine next week

 

Well, quick update. Turns out that dealer showed us the wrong color. The car is actually Vivid Blue Pearl. Overall, I'm happier with that as it was my preference from the beginning. Just brought her home tonight.

 

Haha Nice!! Congrats

 

Good Form!

 

Mine likes to trick me. It turns purple in the sun, Navy blue in the shade, and black at night. I wonder how many people would be mistaken between a BBP and NHBP at night. They look exactly the same at night.
