I love blue my last Harley was blue (Super Glide). When the Colbalt came out I sold the Super Glide & bought this.

You are correct I have noticed with the right light some purple. If you look close at the rear of my saddlebag you can just see a hint of purple.

 

It was a hard toss-up between Colbalt Blue and Black Pearl for me. The BP sure looks purdy all shined up. But if I could not have had it I would not have been disappointed with the Colbalt.

 

Black Pearl. Like SiLlY said earlier, because it's faster - LOL

 

When I picked up mine, the dealer had four colors in stock: black, black pearl, black cherry, and cobalt. I knew he only had one in black, and that was my original choice. Before I decided, I had the salesman wheel the black pearl bike outside into the sun, which helped my decision. For me, it was a toss-up between black and black pearl, with cobalt being a very close third.

 

Everyone has an opinion. Any Cobalt will have a hint of purple. Every Blue either leans toward purplish or greenish. The wheel it out into the sun is one of the best suggestions offered. While we're on opinions, I think the "denim" effect would be cool with the Olive green available on the ultra. Just my 2 cents.

 

I wish they offered the SG in Olive Pearl, but I guess black cherry would have to do.

 

Black cherry with some touches of the olive would be a sharp looker. Years ago, I redid a shovel bagger in Midnight Purple pearl and had my graphics guy redo the original AMF/Harley tank badges in turquoise, then we added sand colored Aztec graphics on the bags. It was sharp, I definitely miss that bike! the black cherry to olive have similar color values in contrast.

mine is black pearl and it looks great when it is cleaned up...but go with what YOU like! you won't be disappointed any way you go. Enjoy and ride safe!

 

I like the Black Cherry Pearl sitting in my garage. The Pewter Denim would be my second choice. You have to see it in person to appreciate it.
