Default No way !!!!!!

I have a 2013 nebula grey gs350 w the luxury package and flaxen interior. I recently shined a flashlight on the top of my dash that is nulux to find out the dash to my surprise is purple. I did this at night while in my garage . Has anyone else come across this discovery?

What kind of flashlight? Leds or incandescent? I shined an LED flashlight at my dash and nowhere can i see purple. It still black. Maybe previous owner added a uv coating to condition the nuluxe or leather? Most uv coating ive ever used made things kinda neon purple tint under certain light conditions.

LED from my phone. The nulux/leather part is clearly a different color than the harder , black part of dash. I will try to post pics but thanks for your reply.

Thanks !
I know it doesn't look that way without the lighting. So I guess you're correct.
