    Is this color considered light or dark?


    I know everyone has seen this color Deville around before, but it's throwing me off as if it's a dark or light color. It changes depending on the day it seems. What do you think?

    I'd say dark but it could go both ways.

    I would say light, but it's at the dark end of the light colours.

    I'd say light. If for nothing else, because I bet it doesn't show every minor swirl or hologram, like a dark color does.

    Seems I wasn't alone on this. I ask because I was trying to figure out if Poorboy's White Diamond or Black Hole would work better on it.

    Now that I keep looking at it, I change my answer to light.

    What is the actual "color" that GM/Cadillac calls it?
    IMO, get that info and compare it with the other available "colors" for that model year.

    You say: "It changes depending on the day it seems"
    Do you mean: 'depending on time of day' ? If so, IMO, what a nice feature to have.

    Maybe the only true way to find where this 'color' fits into the Visible light spectrum is by use of spectrophotometry?

    Do one side with Black Hole, one side with White Diamond. The customer is unlikely to notice and you can determine which looks best. (half kidding...)
