Ok, I think we have enough votes to finish this thing. So! Here we go.

Obviously the two rival color choices are Maroon and Purple (not burgundy, which is "A dark grayish or blackish red to dark purplish red or reddish brown"..obviously can be considered more than one color).

Purple: "any of a group of colors intermediate between blue and red."

Sources
Wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple
Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=purple


Maroon: "a color mixture composed of brown and purple."

Sources

Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=maroon


But, I have to give it to badass91hatch for the correct answer. The car is purple, but, to be more specific, Plum.. or, dark purple.

Plum: "a dark color resembling purple. It is also known as raisin"

Source
Wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_%28color%29


Photo proof



As you can see, the car is obviously not Maroon. Maroon is a brown and purple, making a close to crimson red color... far closer to red, basically. Plum is just a dark purple, and the car is purple.. I mean, hands down, the thing is purple. So all you bastards calling my car maroon, ITS PURPLE!!! ....anywho.. lol.

Your witness.

average paint jobs done correctly are like $3k-$5k. NESpeed RX7 would prb be up there near $10k I bet but well that is what NewEngland Speed is for
