What are the differences between the two blacks? Im looking for a deep deep dark black color. I don't like it turning purple-ish or grey-ish when it hits the sunlight. I want a glossy deep black.

Which would suit me most? Are there some real life photos of it for comparison thank you!

by the way is there another shade of black also called sumatra black? How is it different?

Colour is a very personal choice. I have the Barolo and think it is absolutely fantastic, but based on your requirements I would recommend the Santorini. As has been said, you really need to look at a car in real life to gauge the true colour. Nevertheless I have posted a few picks of mine (see http://babyrr.com/forum/Thread-Finally-Arrived-Home) that might help...

Barolo is definitely very reddish in the light. Think of it as a cherry black. Santorini (which I have) is very lack with a metallic fleck.

The simple answer is Santorini.

Barolo has red in it, therefore in sunlight it is a dark reddy-purple.

As mentioned, Santorini is a proper metallic black that just looks shiny in sunlight as opposed to a different shade. The metallic fleck is quite easy to see close up.

Barolo Black is very dark brown (not red/purple)

Just ordered my car today. And the choice came down to barolo or santorini. Initially the grey was in the mix. But my view was a range rover should be black!
Back to blacks...salesman told me the barolo has a bronze fleck. Santorini looks great in the flesh and looks true black. Hence that is what I went for.

From grey to black? Or you mean just general changes of mind? To be honest the colour choice is driving me nuts! But will stick to my guns now. I wish it was locked down and I was unable to change it!

Mines Orkney grey with a black roof. I'm thinking of dipping the wheels black actually. Gloss or Matt?

Simply because of the long wait and all of the colour options.

Joking aside, we were lucky to make our colour decisions by being able to see the various colours at the dealers, though not at the same time.
