The Squier colour was called Galactic Purple, which Ive never seen in person, but it looked to be a sparkle or metal-flake finish to me, and from what I could tell, definitely purple. Midnight Wine, as on the MIM Std Teles, is a flat colour. The popular colour with a silver undercoat, as opposed to being metallic or having metal flakes, is Candy-Apple Red (aka CAR), but its unmistakably red.
