Probably about the same time everybody got sick of posers wearing all black with black guitars trying to look metal. There, I said it...
On a serious note the point of this was to go against the grain of all of the boring black eight strings going on thanks to Meshuggah (I like Meshuggah, just sick of the black stained eight strings)
Purple guitars are awesome. It may just be personal taste, but when something is done well in purple, it tends to catch the eye more.
I would normally say all the matching hardware would look ridiculous, but it's matched really well to the body color and actually looks better than black hardware would imo. That neck looks ridiculously thin and flat in the last picture, although I've never played nor seen an 8 in person so I don't know what the standard is.
Congrats!

And I thought I liked purple. Find some purple coated strings for that thing
Grats!

Honestly I was a little nervous initially about how the colors would work out together, but it turned out fantastic
It's really odd as I HATE necks with flat backs, and this looks like it has one... but it doesn't feel like it
This thing is amazingly comfortable to play 
True, but then it went out again
There was that whole extended monochromatic thang going on for several years, now it seems like colors are coming back again

wicked burn, dude
and yes, friggin awesome guitar! ever since i picked up a custom second-hand, ive been considering having a custom 8 made to match it, but the original luthier has like a 4 year waiting list and horrible customer service haha. i'll add KxK to the potential builder's list

Their Iceman 8's are the usual trans-charcoal finish.
Mårten has a way cool natural-finished LACS Destroyer 8 that's horribly neck heavy, but looks a lot like an 8 string Gibson Futura. It's a 30.5" scale, 5-ply maple/purpleheart neck-through with sapele wings, blank rosewood board, Kahler trem, single Lundgren M8 and single volume. He highly doubts he'll ever use it live because it's so huge and awkward, but loves playing it at home or in the studio.

i would like to say again i worship this guitar, and that it is one of the few painted guitars i can look at and say that i honestly wouldn't swirl it ; )
How can a plain finish be so great? And that custom purple hardware is incredible too! It looks like candy. All types of candy, for that matter: eye candy, actual candy, and I bet it's ear candy too.
Congratulations, man!
