Remember when you mix 2 colors you get a 3rd new color

So, basically, we still have no idea what this color will look like. Hehe.

Exactly as I said in my other thread.......Jerez Black- WTF?......

aerisolphaln · 04-04-2007, 12:32 PM

It probably looks like black.

KL2DC · 04-04-2007, 01:20 PM

its hard to imagine this color based on the composition. At least on the carbon black, you can see the blue being a large component hence the awesome dark blue sheen on carbon black.

So yeah, jerez black would probably look like a deeper black sapphire

SpencerM3 · 04-04-2007, 05:29 PM

Cool, though I doubt I'll ever get a black car again...

correct w/ 80% black of course it will, sort of like carbon black were it all depends on lighting & angles to get its full effects....I love carbon black but its too dark for me maintaining it sucks also & in my house we have too many black cars w/ black interior, but someone get it w/ a red interior I can't wait to see it

Really........? With an 80% composition of Black I thought it might look like....
.........White! .........................

i love the look of the jerez black on the m3 microsite... can't wait to see it in person ...

main drawback is it does nothing to accentuate the CF roof...

Goober M · 04-06-2007, 12:41 PM

From the press release and the microsite, it looks to have a blue-ish tint. Probably somewhat similar to Carbon Black.

maq · 04-06-2007, 11:30 PM

E90fleet, any mix comparison between Melbourne and Imola Red?

"To think of Jerez Black - if you have ever seen Oil in a puddle of Black Dirty Water with that blueish greenish tint."
