The NSX FAQ (answers to Frequently Asked Questions) is located on this site, with a table of contents at http://www.nsxprime.com/toc.htm

Look for a section called "Colors" and you'll find pictures there.

Getting an idea of the color now, but does anyone on this site own a purple NSX and have actual home photos and not computer generated ones?

I have a pic from Canyonball Run IV of one posted on my NSX site. Unfortunately the color from the lab was a bit off, so I had to color correct it from memory

IMHO, it's really tough to get an accurate idea of this particular color from pictures. Its one of those odd paint colors you have to see in person.

Part of the problem is that it doesn't always appear as a single color. Depending on the lighting, it's often very easy to mistake it for black. In sunlight, you can usually (but not always) see that it's purple.
