Black pearl is more of a dark gray while vivid black is black.

So even though it says BLACK PEARL , does it look black at certain angles or in different lighting, and gray at other angles? My dealer does not have any black pearl & I thought it would be a deeper shiny black!......

Vivid Black is H-D's name for gloss black. Black Pearl is metallic black.

You got it. The deepest black is vivid. If you add pearl to any color it lightens the look of it...except white.

Also, in bright sunlight you can see some green sparkle from the pearl.
