Black tulip is a dark purple, whereas aconite is sort of a bright Barney
(the dinosaur) purple. I know some people who went with aconite because
it was original for their year (they wanted "purple") and was shocked at
how it turned out. Pays to see what the color you're painting your car
looks like first. :-)
When we painted mine, it cross-referenced to a '95 BMW M3 color, but I
don't have the paint code with me. Also, you can go to a paint shop and
have them mix a little and spray a card for you. You can see some
photos of my black tulip project at the link below.

Subject: Paint source for purple midge
I9m looking for a source of spray paint for doing several interior parts
of
my 74 1/2 midge. The color is a dark purple, and I haven9t yet figured
out
whether the color is aconite or black tulip. In any case I was hoping
that
I could purchase several spray cans of paint that would be close to the
color that I plan to respray the entire car (probably next summer some
time). I plan to respray the vehicle with whatever color it now is
since I
like it.
Thanks again,
Mike Gagne
