Capri Blue Metallic vs. Diamond Black Metallic vs. Obsidian Black Metallic

Does anyone have a picture of a capri blue metallic, obsidian, or diamond c55 in daylight, not just the showroom?

what is the difference between the diamond black and obsidian black? I think the diamond is more shiny and sparkly and the obsidian has a grey undertone, but im not for sure.

Some Capri Blue Pics

One of my favorite colors. Looks almost purple blue in full sunlight, but dark blue-black in the shade and at night.

Paint color confirmation

I believe the paint color in the attached photo is either capri blue metallic or orion blue metallic. If anyone can confirm the color, that would be great. Thanks and happy new year.
