GM calls it black cherry metallic on a 2017 Buick Regal.

Black Rose has been used before on C4's. Friend of ours had one....very sharp in person. Here is a pic I grabbed off the interweb.

Ehh.. I'd have to see it in person. Judging by the pics, it gets a thumbs down from me.

I waxed a Black Cherry CTS many times. I preferred the "pop" of the prior CTS in Crystal Red Metallic.

Funny in 1992 it wasn't an extra cost finish. A picture from 1992 My Black Rose and White Vert. What's old is new again.

Interesting. The supposed new Brown color isn't on that list. Wonder what the "New Sterling Blue" looks like?

I think that was a two/three year color back in the early nineties. It looked good with the Grey interior. Kind of like a cherry cola color. I wish they could have done a medium/dark bronze. The early C4 color.

I had a '94 Black Rose Metallic coupe - loved the color. Good to see GM bringing that color back.

Pictures don't do it justice.

I'm not a fan of purple cars in general, but until you see the car in person you can't judge the color.

I'm anxious to see it outdoors as I only saw it inside the plant.

It has a deep metallic look to it, and I would struggle to say it's "purply" it's more subdued than that.

I love this color. My Infiniti M37x is "Malbec Black" which is a metallic flake dark cherry red. I love my DSOM, but damn, I would have ordered this!
