If that confuses you, wait until you realize that Fender called this Competition Burgundy. View attachment 332037

In the car world, that's called purple/green chameleon. I like this colour, altho when it first came out back in the late 90s early 2000s, that colour was/is still beautiful but had a hideously expensive price. If memory serves me rightly, it was something like 5000$ per pint. Now it's way cheaper because the competition figured out their versions of the colour and some even came up with cheaper processes that netted the same results but at even more significantly cheaper prices. How does a 3 step 3 spray can set for 35$ grabs ya? That was in the early 2000s. And now we have that colour plus three or four new colour changing colours. I like the original the best tho.

Someone one day in a boardroom said "let's call it Burgundy" and the world was never the same - anyone who was raised on corn n milk & received a High Quality Merican Edumacation would have certainly learned their proper colors in primary school! Some people's kids I tell ya!!

It's not chameleon as it doesn't change color based on angle. It's not even green at all, just purple over blue. The competition burgundy doesn't do this:

Name reminds me of this thing a vape shop here sold that's actually a chemical electronics cleaner, but people buy it to sniff to get dandelions in their heads. I bought a bunch myself, for cleaning my vapes and small electronics. NOT to sniff. I wanna retain whatever brain cells I have left. :/

Burgundy!

Yeah. There is a connotation with the word popper, but I am literally just fusing pink and copper. We could go with cink? Wait that also has connotations and meanings...... dag nabbit.

Ah, it's impossible to tell in a single static photo whether it's a chameleon or not in just one picture. But yer LP is a GREAT looker!

Cobra mustang Mystic blue pearl I think it was called?

Yup, that's the latest version I'm aware of, very pretty car, and that one's paint formula is still top secret and is still quite expensive. About on par with a fancy candy flake job, and the multi-stage application is almost as complicated. Saw a 'Tube vid of a shop that's one of the few in the country by Ford authorized to do that paint job, did the painting, but kinda skinned skimmed (dangit autocorrect!) over the actual mixing process (naturally).

VW Did a blue pearl metallic in 2001 that woudl flip irridescent purple when waxed, clean clear no orange peel and rolling through sunlight.


Indigo blue pearl. When taken care of it looks like irridescent shark skin.

VW did the surf green in 90's an actual fender color and these too:



VAG likes to use guitar colors, they had some fender edition jetta/GTi also.

Burgundy isn’t one color.
"When referring to the color, "burgundy" is not usually capitalized. Terms describing interchangeable shades, with overlapping RGB ranges, include claret, mulberry, deep crimson, and maroon".
