Is This RARE/NON PRODUCTION/PROTOTYPE JULIET Legit?

i do not see the big deal with those. they look like plasma on my computer. anything blue i attribute to angle and shading.
 
its just a blue annodized colorway,or this guy has acess to a custom annodizing company
 
We can all agree these are genuine Oakley Juliets, but the question of importance is about the frame colour, were the Purple and this Blue pair actually 'born' with these colours when they were manufactured? What is to prevent a third party, or an Oakley employee, adding the colours to one of the standard Juliet frame colours? If that happened then they would be customized pairs that lost their originality. The problem, even if they are genuine frame colours, is any lack of documentation and the natural lack of packaging that tends to come with a non production issue. It seems it will be hard to prove for a fact the items are genuine, a concern if they really are genuine. Given X Metal colours appear to be 'metal' colours like silver, black, grey, gold, brown and copper, it seems unusual that Oakley would make coloured pairs, and then not release any, and in any event there remains the challenge of how to distinguish a real pair from a custom example.

Isn't that already happening with all the customs jobs and even imitations of old Oakley release colorways?
Lines between Oakley and Foakley are getting blurer by the second.
