Actually, it is funny you mention that because I deliberately left that out of my prior post. I do think that the new BC/CC urethanes are not only deeper and darker, but do create that purple-ish undertone. I don't know why but I have noticed that on a few cars. The DuPont I used does not seem to do that.
