Black Cherry?

3 color blindness quotes:

Q1: Some 10 million American men—fully 7 percent of the male population—either cannot distinguish red from green, or see red and green differently from most people.

Q2: Evidence from opticians is that about 10% of the male population who have been tested have been found to have some kind of defect in their ability to distinguish between colors, but the percentage is much lower among females.

In some cases the defect is caused by a defect in the function of the person's eye rods or cones of his retina, and in others a defect in the nerve cells in his brain. Full color blindness, where everything appears monochromatic is extremely rare, believed to affect less than 0.1% of humans.

Q3:
Red-green (Caucasians) 8%
Red-green (Asians) 5%
Red-green (Africans) 4%

So, lets filter out color attitudes first by color perception issues.

Next, remove from consideration those with fears of others that represent the opinions of ignorant, provincial, dogmatic, biased, prejudiced, and or the juvenile. Course, if one has to work or associate with such, there is risk of vandalism, ostracism, beatings, ridicule, bullying etc., the 'deliverance' syndrome; that's too bad but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive the zombies, I guess.

Finally, consider the psychological; some abhor complexity. I was at dealer for oil change and a woman was buying another nissan; she stated she didn't like BC because it had no definite color; actually said something like 'I don't don't what color it's trying to be', or, 'I don't know what it is' ..

Some have a need for simple, basic primary colors: Red Yellow Blue ..
Others will accept some of the complementary Orange, Green,

Now purple, which in an earlier posting I indicated that the dominant color is a purple based on a plant used in a traditional, medieval, pre-synthetic industrial chemistry age, is also not a spectral color, it does not appear in the colors produced by the sun going through a prism. Purple is not indigo, nor violet.

After one year with the BC 370z sp, I think that for the BC, more than most colors, needs to be polished and clean, and have dark tinted windows, more so than (mag) black, which I had in previous 350z for 4 years.

I have had the darkest legal tint applied several months ago: 17% rear, 28% side, 90% on windshield with a 17% vlt 5" top strip, and it makes the color stand out more, more contrast than the light green plastic layer (safety element) in the stock laminate windows, naturally. ( Cooler inside too, as IR and UV are blocked to a large degree with these newer materials. )

Personally, I like gunmetal gray, brilliant silver, and the midnight blue overall, but at the time of purchase noticed how the BC does look black in shade ( and gray days) but glints in sun with the deep purple shades. Due all the curvature on the Z, one won't usually see much of the body 'light up', just small areas, which makes them stand out. Remember too, sunrise/set color is warmer -more red,orange- than high noon, thereby moving the color hue around the color wheel and adding more complexity.

Most people, even neighbors and co-workers, didn't notice the 'new car', some took a month or two to realize it was not black! The policewoman who ticketed me around 7.30pm EST DST some weeks back in town -I was ill, exhausted too after 15 hour day and a bit heavy on the pedal- denoted car as black, too.

So, give BC a break, admit all color is an aesthetic privilege for those with working eyes and un-corrupted attitudes, though many colors are special, all have their preferences which change -at least- with each car buy.

I enjoy seeing any clean, polished, and detailed car, especially cruising at 135+.
