THREE years ago, the hot new color on the road was teal, a bluish-green. Then teal yellowed, becoming a truer green, whether a silvery fern, a grassy emerald or a darker shade of hunter. By the end of 1994 green had displaced white as the top-selling color for intermediate and luxury cars, according to Du Pont Automotive Finishes. Now see what green has wrought this year: purple, which for the first time in recent years has penetrated the entire range of domestic and imported vehicles. Classic maroon is becoming bluer, a truer grape purple, available on many models from BMW's "Daytona violet" on the M3 to the "deep iris" of the Ford Escort and the "orchid" of the Chrysler Cirrus. The Dodge Neon's "light iris" is the fourth-most-popular hue for that subcompact, and the "navarra violet" of the BMW 7-series luxury sedans is a hit.

Use by law enforcement agents, postal inspectors and informants is prohibited!"
