Purple is only available as the default colour for "Individual" settings, if you pick another colour in the Individual screen you don't have the ability to choose purple again.
The only trick you can do is to become again the primary owner of the car or add another user to the car, this will reload the initial setting for the Infotainment for that particular user.

Are you sure about adding a new user which will revert back to initial setting and having purple again ?

Yes, just make sure you have both keys in the car to become the primary user again.

Great, I'll try that later this week.
Upgrading to version 1896, I've got purple color out of the garage but then adding my user account (which was erased following the update), it changed to my old choice which was calm (teal color).
I've been trying to find a solution to revert to the initial setting and even resetting the infotainment did not work.
However, I'm no more primary user following the reset.
I'll try both option, setting myself as primary user again or setting a new user.
If it works, I'll be very thankful to you.

Well unfortunately, my Leon is now buggy and I can't add myself as a primary user or add a new account.
Guess I'll have to head to seat first before trying your solution.

I can switch it back and forth how many times I want.

Anyone been able to get the yellow from the preset "warm" mood in individual settings? I want that colour but less bright, however it doesn't seem to be in individual settings.

So you can confirm that by adding a new user, you get the purple color again ? my car is going for a reset in august, so I should be able to test this theory.

Hi Guys, I have just the one profile on my VZ3 and can switch between any colours in Individual mode (inc. purple) - Car was delivered April this year and running 1890....maybe I'm just lucky?

I received my car couple months ago, so it came with all possible software updates. Maybe because this.
I don't need to add users or do any other stuff. It just works as for @ChrisGerr

Have you got the "yellow" as an option? I.e. the one from the "Warm" profile?

Just been out to check and no :rolleyes:
Typical. 🙄 At least it's not just me.

I've also noticed on one of the other presets (can't remember which exactly), the door lights are completely out of sync with the dash colour. I.e. the door cards are red, but the dash is blue. 🤷

Well they are independent of each other :unsure:. I have my dash in an orange and door cards in red at the moment. Can't find the elusive purple on mine though.

You can set the dash as one colour and door as another.
