Default Triple Black?

I may be naive but why do alot of people advertise their coupe or FRC as Triple Black? I thought that only reffered to verts?

Good question. Guess I haven't been paying attention, as I haven't seen that before.

I have a BLACK on BLACK Coupe and that is the only way to refer to the FRC or COUPE, Triple Black should be referred to a VERT!

I too have seen this in a few listings where someone is adverstising their car. I agree with the posts above that if is a coupe or FRC with black paint and black interior, it should be referred to as black on black.

Triple black is meant to refer to black paint, black interior, and a black convertible top.

Unless you have seen this documented somewhere I believe it's just called black. Even the corvette black book calls it black. If you could show me some reference to triple black as a color I would appreciate it, just for curiosities sake.
