    I'm considering buying an r52, but this one has me scratching my head. It doesn't really look like Cool Blue, but that's the color listed...

    So it's probably right then?

    I'd really like to find one in Purple Haze, which is what I originally thought this was until I read the description.

    that's definitely not purple haze, purple haze is a deep dark purple (like :confused: ). Looks like cool blue to me, which is sort of a gray/blue/periwinkle color. (like :eek6: )

    Do most of the colors change with the light? I know Mellow Yellow does.

    Yeah, the photos in these ads all seem to distort the colors. This one is listed as PH but it looks just as blue to me as the one above:

    That is NOT purple haze. This is.
