Guest daddycool Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 Hope someone can help?? I have been searching around for a purple Galaxy. However i cant find the colour i want. Does anybody know what the colour is officially called? its not the burgandy purple it's more, well PURPLE!!! If anyone spots one for sale, im after a TDi in PURPLE up to 1999 reg south of london. Many thanks Mark Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 ISTR it's something like "Fleurie" but Purple Peril should know the answer! Quote
Guest daddycool Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 No no no no no..................... NOt the red wine coulour purple. Its the more a bluey purple. If you see one you'll know what i mean. Mark :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Are you getting confused with the metallic red (ketchup) colour? Fleurie is the purple-ish colour as per Purple Peril's, below. Quote
Guest nimrod Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 We are talking MK1's here I take it? Quote
Guest daddycool Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 its not the ketchup red, or the red wine colour. The closest colour i have found on the ford website is metropolis blue. Since trying to find this colour i have not seen one on the road. Normally i see a couple up at the airport, taxi's, but can i find them, can i heck!!Was going to get there registration and phone Ford and ask for the colour. Many thanks mark Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 Do you mean Mk1 or Mk2? Mk2 has only just become available in a light blue shade - metropolis. If you mean Mk1, I now think I know which colour you mean, but I don't have an old brochure so cannot get the name from there. This one?light_blue_sharan Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 13, 2004 Report Posted July 13, 2004 If it isn't, it must be "scotch mist blue" :angry: Quote
Guest nimrod Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Or how about shadow blue metalic? it has a slight purple tinge to it <_< http://www.ford.co.uk/spg/images/SPG_3_28_0_292.jpg Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 ...but not on Mk1. (Isn't this similar to State Blue, or have they just re-named it?) Quote
Guest nimrod Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 It could be but DC's not said MK1 or MK2? Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 DC are you still out there? Have we found it yet? Is it this shade - which the selling garage has misdescribed as wine red, so I still don't know the proper name for it!! Quote
Guest daddycool Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 Hi thanks for all your efforts so far.Firstly it is the mk1 galaxy.Its not any of the colours that you guys have posted! I thought on here there must be at least one person with one that colour. Ive trawled car ads trying to find one the same but cant find a whistle let alone one for sale. Its driving me mad!!!!! Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 DC please revisit my last post - I've just edited it to stick a new colour on it. Is it that one? Quote
Guest daddycool Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 IVOR E TOWER, you are a diamond.That is the colour i have been looking for!! Hope now somebody can shed some light on the name of it? Thanks for you help my friend Mark <_< Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 14, 2004 Report Posted July 14, 2004 OK take the reg number to your Ford Parts counter and they will tell you from there, unless someone else beats us to finding the name. Phew, that was a strain! Quote

Guest docker Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 DC, i have a windsor blue , just a thought !!!!!!!its a pretty dark blue but has purple flex in it. in certain light it gleams a metallic purple . sorry no pic. hope this can help :) Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted July 15, 2004 Report Posted July 15, 2004 I hope it has purple flecks in it, rather than a purple flex - the first electrically powered Galaxy perhaps? Range limited to 15 metres before the plug is pulled from the socket....... :D :) :D :D :) :D Quote
Guest Parme Posted July 16, 2004 Report Posted July 16, 2004 DC If its the same colour like the one in the picture of Ivor E Tower than its certainly Melina Blue. I have the same colour and the name of the colour was on the invoice. I like the colour a lot : tends to change with the lighting conditions Quote
