I was wondering if Neptune was the only factory color that changes it's color. It does not happen all the time but usually during sunrise and sunset or if you shine a flashlight on it > You can see the color change from the deep blue to a light purple.Are the Neptune Vibes the only ones that change?

It depends what kind of psychoactive recreational drugs you are partaking in.

I think that you are seeing the mettalic flakes. In the right light my car can have a purply orangy hue around the edges. However, if you are suggesting that your car came from the factory with chromalusion paint, then you may indeed be on drugs.

can't say i've noticed this with my neptune.

I am taking about the metal flakes, it's not like the whole car changes it just when the light hits the car just right angle you can see the purply orangy hue.

mine changes if you wanna say..lol...but really it's just the flakes that make it look awesome

I love my OEM Neptune Chameleon paint. Just another reason why Neptune is the best color!

when i smoked some stuff i found on the floor my moonstone paint changed.....

I first noticed it in the streetlights in the dealer parking lot on the night I got to pick it up. I thought 'wow...seeing all the pictures didn't do the color justice.' It was definetely worth the 3 month wait to order! Even my mom commented that it was a nice color.

Abyss (black) has the "color-changing" metal flakes in it as well.

My Lava changed color the other day when I washed it.

I have noticed that Salsa sometimes looks more orangie pink and sometimes more burghudy or red. I noticed this with mine some times. The silver that I have now - the metallic flakes make it look super awesome in certain light.

WITHOUT drugs, when it's CLEAN.

I did not say the MOST rare, just one of the most.

Envy Wins the rare paint award!!

As mentioned the flake in many colors will make it look different under various lighting conditions. Another thing is that daylight has a different color cast at different times of the day, and artificial light also has a color. So, when it is reflected off the car that cast mixes with the car color, and makes it look a bit different.My Shadow will have a distinct brown, green or blue variation depending on the conditions. Since the base gray is fairly nuetral the difference is more noticable than it would be on a strong color like red.Neptune blue actually has a bit of purple in the mix, so that is why it shows at certain times. Especially at sunrise and sunset when the skycolor is more red, which when mixed with blue creates purple.I think most of the Vibe colors have interesting tonal qualities which makes them all rather special. It was one of the things that attracted me to the car.
