Colour question

[ScrawnyRanga]

Hey guys, bit of a weird one here but I'm looking pretty seriously at a black series one VT, would the colour be raven mica? And how does the colour look in the sun, from Google photos and photos on the ad it looks slightly off black like it has a slight blue or purple tinge to it, is this what they look like in person? Cheers

I think Raven was a very dark metallic blue, not black.

There appear to be two colours of raven mica.
Check the link & scroll down a little.

Ah ok, is it obviously blue in person? I don't recall ever noticing one in person

Yep. In strong light the blue is obvious.
