    Hi guys - thought you might be interested in some of the interesting reflections caused by the various body angles. Looks very different depending on the time of day and angle of the sun!

    My wife says our Metallic Blue '16 looks more purple than Blue.....

    I think she is crazy(well she did marry me) - but in certain lights, I can see why she thinks its purple-ish.

    She's not crazy. Blue Crush looks purple to me as well under direct sunlight. For some reason, it's more obvious on the RAV4 (2013/2014 MY only).
