Any "Vesuvio" cars out there?

I'm looking at a Vesuvio Grey 996 next Saturday. I'm curious as to how they look. TIA.

Here's mine in 993 C2S trim:
Kinda hard to get a feel for it, but looks great in person. ALWAYS get lots of compliments on it.

Would you describe it as dark grey? The owner tells me it has a purple look in some light.

I like Vesuvio.
It has a definite purple tone with the grey.
The grey/purple mix combined with the metallic component of the paint makes it look a lot different in different light and from different angles.
And every photo you see of a car in Vesuvio will look like a slightly different color.

Interesting. Two of the pics you posted, the ones just above, are of the very car I'm looking at.
