Default colors

I'm just about to order a new roadster - down to Raven Black Pearl - - or Brilliant Black with clearcoat. Problem is neither is in stock and I can't tell much difference from the brochure. Any comments from those who own cars in these colors?

Default Here's the best pictures I have showing what they look like.

They're both shiny and all, but Raven Black has what looks like little metallic flakes or something. Brilliant Black is a totally pure black and looks kinda like a mirror when clean (but it's really tough to keep it looking completely clean.)

Thanks all - and the winner is - - - RAVEN BLACK. Now all I need to do is pay for it.

Paying for it's the easy part...keeping it clean is the real challenge ;-)
