So the new explorer comes in absolute black. Does anyone know if it's different than ebony black? The code is G1 vs ebony UA. Tuxedo is UH. Anyone have pics or can tell what the difference is? I'd like a deep black instead of tuxedo. Maybe something that I might change if I were to get the new explorer

I doubt too many have seen the new colours yet since the 2016 won't begin production until May 4th. The dealer may have some colour samples but I'm not sure how accurate they might be.

I forget which one it is but I saw one of the other blacks when I purchased my 15 Explorer. It was on an Explorer sitting on the lot. The vehicle looked black from some angles and then changed colors to a dark green or dark blue from other angles. It's hard to explain but it looked pretty cool. Not quite as drastic as the old Chameleon color on the Mustang Cobras.
 






There once was a song about this by Los Bravos...Black is Black!

Dark Side?

Yup, that's what it was named.

Yes Dark Side, irridescent black with green/dark turq blue/silver greyish metalflake.

a very nice change from the 2013/2014 black called

Tuxedo Black Metallic; black with irridescent green, purple, pink, blue

In the summer looks greyish and sparkles as you move by it, not a deep black.
