Black Paint Colour Code

[SamT4973]

Evening,

As the title suggests, does anyone happen to know the colour code for the standard black paint on a 66 plate DS3?

Halfords have a tin for £6.99 that matches Citroen manufacturers code EXY, GYA & AC200

Thanks in advance,
Sam

It'll be on your door shut I think, I've got a perla nera black DS3 and the paint code is KTV so I'd double check on your car before buying anything

That's Onyx Black (the roof)

Huh didn't think they had 2 colours of black. I thought the Racing was the only one that was a different shade.

So black on black cars have 2 different blacks on them?

The configurator has Perla Nera body with Perla Nera roof as an option, but comparing my Perla Nera car with Patrick's Perla Nera roof, I think they are slightly different as the roof paint isn't metallic. I'll compare the paint codes later.

I think there was also an obsidian black too - I think Mark A or Dave's (Soran) was obsidian black...

And they definitely used different lacquer tints too as I replaced my door from a donor of the same paint code, but the difference was so obvious that I had to sort the entire side out. Lacquer off, new lacquer on, paint looked great.
