It's 67 Mustang metallic purple, or Cadillac Lavender Mist.

Point of clarification. My recollection is...Same way you get a brown Model S within the Signature Series: You get a custom paint job. There were about a half dozen people in the first thousand who were willing to pay for something other than black, silver, white, or red. The factory tried to do custom paint jobs, decided it wasn't worth the effort and quit. When the non Sig colors came out, most people could get something satisfactory and there was not as much pressure to do special colors.
Custom paint costs over $10,000. It's worth it if you want it bad enough. The pink is supposed to be sort of a Mother of Pearl pink. It is quite gorgeous.
We got Chocolate Pearl. It does not look like the Bronze that Tesla sells for brown, although it does not stand out nearly as much as the Pink.
By the way, today is our Tesla's first birthday. Still feels like a new car, still love driving or riding in it, still give test rides and talks just about every day. And we are just turning 25,000 miles. This car exceeds our expectations in so many ways.
1. The custom paint job cost an extra $12,000.
2. The option was never officially published.
3. The option was discontinued after some small number like 10 vehicles.
Because of #3, this is incorrect:
Most of the 1,200* never had the option.about a half dozen people in the first thousand
* Holding my tongue on this topic for now other than listing the closest official number to what the quoted post was referring to.
