Black and Jet Black Metallic are not the same. I would never have said that until I got the later.

I should clarify I meant the photos
I can't even tell which black is which, they all look the same in the photos, which makes the photos I see scrolling through the thread a bit boring...its a lack of visual appeal thing....not that black cars are not good looking, just that the photos of black cars are not flattering them in any way....

To reiterate,

I should clarify I meant the photos in this thread are boring
I can't even tell which black is which, they all look the same in the photos, which makes the photos I see scrolling through the thread a bit boring...its a lack of visual appeal from the photos im seeing thing....not that black cars are not good looking, just that the photos of black cars are not flattering them in any way .... one of the photos above... the door is open and the black on the body somehow becomes silver.....why is the black silver?....etc etc so on and so forth..................come on ya'll, do the cars justice and put some thought and effort into the photos

Thats true, it is a good color in person

Try different angles, to minimize reflections and maximize car details, nobody wants to see every leaf in frame also reflected on the cars body, we can already see every leaf in the frame....if you're taking a photo of a black car....focus on the black car not the sky, clouds, your shoes, the sidewalk, the foliage, or whatever else that reflects onto the body. that stuff is boring.

In a lot of the photos I see in this thread, my eyes are drawn to the extreme amount of reflections and that makes it tough to focus on the car details ....

I've only taken pictures of a black car for a few minutes, but this angle seemed to be a good one, you guys should try it...sun position is important
