I've always loved the look of black cars. My first 2 new cars (GM) were the Gloss Black GM has been using for what, a hundred years? Can the Harley Gloss black be any different? My Ultra is two tone Blue and silver because it was used. My current car is a 2017 Chevy Volt and it's "Kinetic Blue Metallic". All is well because blue is my favorite color!
I have a gloss black F150, gloss black Lincoln car, and 3 vivid/gloss black Harleys. I can't tell any noticeable difference in color even when parked side by side. jmo

you'd be surprised. I used to have to go through "Appearance Approvals" for automotive trim pieces. depending on the specific pigments used, there can be a noticeable difference when things are compared side by side. I got so sick of hearing "sample 1 too blue to the master," "sample 6 too yellow c/t master," etc.
yes, you can trademark a color. UPS has trademarked the specific shade of brown they paint their trucks. but all that means is that it prevents another company which provides the same service from painting their vehicles that color.
might want to make sure you know what you're talking about before you go calling people "retarded."
Not the full story. I can use that brown to paint my motorcycle any time I want. I can't use it for business purposes to profit off the color. They can in no way enjoin me from scanning their color and painting my motorcycle that exact formula. They do NOT own the color. They own its use as a business promotional tool.
Ever since the MOCO tried suing and claiming they OWN a sound, they have left a very bad taste in my mouth over their sanctimonious stance on themselves.
