I have one. I normally don't like blue car AT ALL, but this is a very very black colour in real life, and only turn into a bit of blue on certain conditions(normailly its night time under certain light) which makes it very special...

Sounds a bit like BMWs carbon black. In almost all lights, it's black but under filling station lights, it looks very dark blue. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Looks a lovely colour does that, my fav is buck blue, when i sold my sc in buck blue the guy who purchased it actually thought it was black i think his eye sight wasnt the best. Looks stunning on a sunny day though |

Personally a true as possible black looks the nuts but is a hard colour to keep nice unless you know how to look after a car. Desirability depends on model and marque. Example would be a jdm newage impreza is far more valuable in the uk in a basic 51e white paint (flat white) than any other colour available world wide. It can push a value to an identical car by up to 2k.
