This is probably a really stupid question, but I look at lots of vintage BMW race cars and notice the light blue/dark purpley-blue/orangish-red stripes:







But the M logo and current race car stripe colors do not look the same. The dark blue seems more of a regular navy without much of a hint of purple, and the red seems more of a pure red without a hint of the orange that I see in earlier cars. Is it a case of paint getting faded and/or the graphics team trying to get a "weathered" color look to the stripes? Or were the colors actually different at one point?









I'm aware of the whole blue + Castrol red = purple story or whatever but, sometimes the purple doesn't look purpleish at all, and sometimes the red looks more orange.
