Colour on V5

[EasyRider]

So the paint colour of my 1250RT is Carbon-Schwarz metallic.
On my V5 it has the colour as BLACK. But it's a dark blue.
My wife Yamaha XJ6F is black and when the two are next to eachother your can see its blue and not black.
So can i ask if others with the same colour can tell me what colour is on the V5 please.

Same!

I think its the Carbon bit that classifies it as a black

My 1250 RT is very dark blue metallic but the V5 states states black.

My bike is Ebony, which looks brown in certain lights, the V5 says black.

It's probably the same colour as mine and @EasyRider's

Thank you for the info.
I see that there is a bronze that looks black as well.
I checked some reg number on the DVLA website and got a mix of Black, Bronze and Brown for the same colour.
I think it also comes down to the person at the dealer who does the info to reg the bike with the DVLA when new.

I had a Yamaha xj1200 in Yamaha yellow/ black racing colours. But on the V5 it stated black because of the black strip. I think they must pick the darkest colour on a vehicle
