Nighthawk Black color = navy blue???
My 2002 CL-S is black but yet when you park a car behind it and turn its headlights on to shine at the back of my car, it looks like a metallic deep blue color..but only under heavy light...in the day time you cant tell, only at night and under stong lights...is that how it is supposed to be???

Yes this is normal our cars have blue paint chips or flakes in the paint. ACURA change the color in 2000 from the FLAMENCO BLACK PEARL that was on the 1999. In some light conditions you can see the blue alot early mourning & late day sun mostly.

one of my friends owns a black accord(2002), and another friend a black civic(2001).. samething happens when there's a strong light directed at their cars.. looks like really really dark blue.. and my sister's black 2000 TL does the samething... i think it's nice..
maybe the base color they used to create black is blue.. you know like high concentration of blue = near black? maybe?
