Obsidian Black

I had a '98 E wagon in Obsidian Black and it never really looked black/black to me. Always had that "dusty" brownish look which I know is normal for this color. However, they must have deepened the black content somewhere along the line. This GL has a metallic pattern up close and really shows black/black in the shade. In the sun there is some slight change in shade but it is still a very black truck.

Anyone else with OB have the same feeling?
