COLOR CODE7D - Violet PearlHyundai Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color captures the specific moment when Hyundai shifted from budget-friendly to design-forward. On the Elantra, it acts as a deep, moody alternative to boring greys, while on the Coupe, it brings out the aggressive lines of the fenders. It is a sophisticated shade that looks nearly black in the evening but reveals a rich violet glow under direct sunlight. Since your car has likely been on the road since the late 2000s, the original finish has probably faced significant UV exposure, so expect the factory paint to be slightly more muted than the fresh pigment in your hands.

Technical Details

This is a pearl finish, which means it relies on tiny mica flakes to create its signature depth. Unlike a solid color, pearl paints are translucent by nature and depend on how the light hits those flakes to look "correct." The biggest risk here is application thickness; if you apply it too heavily in one spot, the mica can bunch up and make the repair look darker or cloudier than the surrounding panel. It is a rewarding color to fix because it hides small surface imperfections well, but it requires a light touch to maintain that translucent shimmer.

Best Practices

You will find your color information on the driver's side door jamb, typically on a black or silver sticker near the latch. Before you spray or dab Hyundai Violet Pearl (check for code 7D), you need to shake it for at least 60 seconds. The heavy pearl particles settle quickly at the bottom, and if they aren't fully mixed, your repair will come out looking like a flat solid purple instead of a metallic pearl. Always test the color on the included card first to see how it matches your car's current state. When applying, keep the container moving to ensure the mica flakes lay down evenly. Work in the shade to prevent the paint from drying too quickly, and allow for plenty of drying time between thin layers.
