Default Is Black Onyx discontinued?

If so, when was it discontinued? 2008?

Is 2007 Obsidian?

2006 black is black onyx. 2007 black is obsidian which is supposed to be more pure black.

You'd be surprised. My old Accord coupe was looked black 99% of the time, but if you happened to see it right after I washed it and in direct sunlight, it had a slight blue tint to it.

The only difference between Obsidian (212) and Onyx (202) is that the Obsidian is metallic. Imagine a metallic onyx and that's what Obsidian is.
