Remember ROY G BIV? White is the absorption of all colors, black is the absence of all colors...
Art class, 1976: True black is devoid of all light. You will have deeper and deeper shades of blue, but no true black. I guess that means that all black Sporties are votes for blue![&:]

Mine's been called everything from red to brown to burnt orange to root beer. I really don't know and haven't seen one at a dealer the same color so I could ask them. I'm wondering what color to call it myself so what do you guys think?
