    No, it's blue and I don't care what anyone else says.

    It kinda looks purple in direct sunlight but in any other light it's blue. I thought it was hideous when I first got it but it is growing on me.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. I can see an argument for blue or purple but frankly is it that important?

    Personally, I don't think purple is a bad color for these trucks... be reminded, purple is the color symbolic of valor... and unless you're a wuss, valor is a good thing.
