What color is my car?

My car is a 1996 Maxima GLE and it is a stock color. It is almost black and the papers say black, but it doesnt quite reflect black. I would call it light black if that make any sense. Doesnt anyone know what the real name for this color is? Thanks.

Any pictures you can post up?
Does it have a hint of green in it?
Does it have a hint of blue in it?
There are a lot of dark colors.

I'm guessing you have either deep evergreen or black emerald

Look under the hood on the firewall and you will see the paint code.
Mine is something like AR2 for the Crimson Blaze.
Then, just go to the general forums about the maxima and you should be able to find them.

from spoilerdepot.com they have it called 'deep purplish blue'...so no it isn't black. Black is KH3 for your year. I'll look more for the official name.

EDIT - It's Granite Pearl. It was in the FAQS, as I suspected...you should read those through a few times.

Sorry guys, but thanks for the help. I wasnt sure where to put the thread, but I have a 4th gen max so thats where i put it. I have a digital camera and I would have posted pics if I would have thought it necessary, but I figured I could get some help without it. Thanks again guys.
