BC is very difficult to photograph, If the car actually looked the color it does in some pictures
I would agree it's an ugly color. Your probally looking at pictures you took and are thinking the
color is sometimes this dull brownish purple or this ugly purple plum color.
But that is only in badly lit pictures. It's just not a photogenic color.

In person the color pops. It's unique, classy and sexy.
The color changes in the light and the angle you view it at.
At night it's basically black with dark purple undertones,
during the day the black slips under the Metallic Maroon surface.
I get tons of complements on the color.
I personally like having BC and enjoy every time I get in my Z.

You only have the car a few days. Give it some time. I guareente you will love the color.
It's just different, and different can take a bit to digest.

Besides once the 1st hot chick tells you the color is beautiful you'll love it.
-Enjoy

i too like the BC color cause of it's different tones at different times of day...especially when it's freshly washed on a beautiful day. (like yesterday). although it is a lil purple/maroon/brown it's still a nice color..... i do wish sometimes it was "crimson black" instead of "black cherry". the crimson black on my maxima is more black with hues or crimson/dark red/purple.

It looks nice, but would look better when you put wheels with a fat lip on there!

It looks good, but not sure that I would want to own one.

I agree that the cheapest fix is a car wrap. Go for the Lambo Orange

I prefer red, as I do for every car I buy.

This was an extra cost color like the yellow in 09, when I first saw one at a dealership it looked almost black until you walk up to it then you get some brown/purple/maroon out of it. I campaired it to an older 350Z at Z-Con in Nashville that had a very similar color and in sunlight the older 350Z's hue was a little bit better.

the Galapagos fire that came on the 350z was a pretty sweet color. If they had modeled the BC after that instead, it would be a pretty epic color.

Using a color picker app I found rgb's of
65-38-87 on the lighter pixels, and
50-36-87 on darker.
That's not to say only two colors in this paint, but most noticeable in my sample taken with cam in garage using white led pen light for lighting. Natural light has a much wider spectrum of course so my sample just provisional.

@ Purple - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia you'll find this the closest match: Japanese Purple (Purple (Japanese traditional colors))
(Hex: #4F284B)
(RGB: 79, 40, 75)

In plain language it's a very dark purple but as many comment, it changes a lot; varying from shades of red- a brownish maroon to almost black.

So it's a complex color, heat of red and cool of blue. Historically the 'royal' color due rarity of indigo for its mix. In U.S. it tends to get lumped into a feminine color, as 'royalty' is a deprecated concept, but at least this mix looks very dark most of the time, under overcast skies it smolders nicely, to me it's a sci-fi color.

In a northern climate it provides some energy in drab rainy landscapes, but in bright sun sub-tropics it'll radiate its multiple personality disorder as the sun moves around; don't worry, it'll confuse more than enrage. At least the hatch provides a 'hoody' appearance to the silouette, contributing a punky effect to the car overall.

Yellow, Red, blue, black, and grays naturally work well with light gray aluminums and black tires, but bc contrasts too much in hue and shade; think gunmetal gray with a color conflict.

Main problems are the large silver headlights, taillight reds and silver wheels and door handles. I think this color would do to have gray wheels, not black as that'll contrast too much and purple will leak out all over the road. Silver wheels with some black paint around rivets, or painted wide lip leaving silver ring in there could be ok. I wouldn't want to lose the 23 - 24 lb 19'' wheels though if you'd want those.

Gray out, iow darken, head and tail-lights, window tint too should help.
Handles could be powder coated gray, perhaps with some pattern -lines or patterns- to show some aluminum, shame to hide it all.

Very dark yellow headlight covers, or painted interior of headlights, and dark bronze wheels might work, but would need to match dark tone of color.
Pull or paint N doughnuts.

I have a bc 370; had a mb 350 but found the black a bit dull over time; sure, nice when clean n waxed but flat. White seemed boring, but bc needed a 2nd look to determine what it was on first glance; I liked that ambivalence but as mentioned, bringing the rest of the color components down to a blackened blood tone could get one past the purple haze.

Main thing is to lower the body 7/8'', after that tone down the rest little by little?

that color is dope in my opinion. dark enough to look black and its not super loud. this color really grew on me the more i seen them around on the 350z. i even liked the orange color paint but soon realized that it was a little too loud. you should keep the color, its low key and cool

obito

just wrapped it ( worth like 1-2k depend on ur bodyshop) instead of getting rip off by depreciation.

Read T

^ Just wrap it

In more black cherry.

So there is twice as much black cherry.

It is a perfect color......... if you are gay or a woman.

Just kidding, the color is fine. It is a lot like black as far as care, cleaning and heat absorption, but how can you listen to anyone else about a color. Either you like it or change it. Unless my joke hits home, who cares about our opinion, a bunch of guys, go take it to some women and ask them if they like it.

It would have been my choice, but I didn't want to wait. So I got the magnetic black.
Black Cherry is cool.
