What is "Triple Black"?
I can see a black car with black interior as two of them. What is the third "black"?

knowing that triple black usually denotes a vert, and also knowing that some people easily get their panties in a twist, I refer to my coupe as black X3 ....black exterior, black interior and matching black engine covers

A long time ago (when I had my black '90 6-speed with gray carpet) I read that it was black paint, black upholstery, and black carpet.
