IT is the color they had this year as a custom color. It looks blue, purple, depending on which way you look at it.

+1 it looks very purple in person. I wish HD would do something about their website's representation of paint colors

It's a deep blue and it changes color as you move around the bike. It also has a lot of big metal flake. I like it, as you can see.
