The Color Techno Violet Metallic
The beauty of Techno Violet is that it is a chameleon. It takes on different hues based on the light it is in. Indoors or bright sun, it is a deep shade of purple. In twilight?a bluish purple. As it gets dark, it looks more black. The attached pictures were taken in in a variety of lighting conditions from twilight to sun to indoor
