Well, would it be a replacement for Obsidian Black, which was a metallic black? Its pretty easy to guess that its a metallic, but what kind of hues/sparke will it have? There's many variations of metallic black. Guess I'll just have to wait for a color chip.

the SLR 50th aniv. at the NY Auto Show was Diamond Black....had a flaked magenta, blue-green and desert silver spark to the finish....but you couldn't really tell until you were right next to the car (yeah, I was the guy that got up close an personal on the carosel to get a pic)
heheh...I also got them to open up the Mars red 05 C320 coupe they had.

If I am not mistaken, Diamond Black looks black from a distance, if you look at it up close or under direct sunlight, you can see the Blue particles in the paint. MB has so many different colors now, it hard to tell which is which. I was at the dealership yesterday and I saw a couple of new colors, there was this one color called "Lolith Blue" that looks VERY nice, I think it is for W209s. Kind of look like Pewter, but instead of Gold-ish, it looks Blue-ish.
