What's everyone's thoughts on this color. Does it have a purple look in the sun? I guess it looks black in the shade. A little unsure about it.

At4x in directly sunlight if it helps but yes looks purple in sun and black in shade. I've seen a bunch of sierras and Yukons in the color and I'm still unsure myself

I like it, bit different. But to most folks, it's just going to look like any other dark gray truck. I've seen quite a few around though. Try to find one in person and see how it looks.

I have a Silverado that’s Dark Ash Metallic. Same color as titanium rush. When I ordered there were only stock photos online. I was pretty disappointed when I started seeing videos/actual pictures and eventually trucks in person. It is unmistakably purple in bright sunlight. In low light it’s a blackish dark grey which looks pretty good.

 

overall it’s a good looking color however Im still not that crazy about it. it has grown on me. If I could go back and choose again, I would have just gotten white. 
 

You need to find a vehicle and go see it in person. Especially when it’s sunny out.

Titanium rush / dark ash metallic is a dynamic color. Rather than a basic dark gray, it shifts color depending on the light. Like you, I was unsure about it and went to view it in person before deciding to order it. 
 

First time seeing it was in the middle of the day with partly cloudy skies and I mistook it for black, thought the salesman was crazy walking me over to two black trucks but one was dark ash. Looked very dark gray up close and could see the difference with the black truck next to it. Looked at another one during a sunny late afternoon with the sun just starting to turn orange and you could see more of the purple shade come through but my wife just saw it as a grayish tone.

 

I’ve seen a few Escalades, trucks, and other vehicles with this color and depending on how the light is hitting it or the time of day, it mainly seems like dark gray or black. Like the picture above, the color has a lot of variance based on the body lines and the light where you can see black, dark gray, slate blue / dark blue, and some purple but never straight up purple.

 

You need to see it in person for yourself, you will see blue metal flake when viewing close up.

    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
