How close is Black Rose Metallic to the Black Cherry Metallic on the new 2017 GMC Acadia?

Thanks in advance

Awesome, that's the color on my wife's new Acadia and I found a Black Rose Metallic rear license plate frame that will look so much better than some of the other frames available.

I like the understated look.

Cheers

Nice. We took delivery of our 2017 Acadia on a cloudy day and got home after dark, the next day I detailed it and when I pulled it out into the sun I was shocked (pleasantly surprised) to see the depth of the metallic and how it changed from a bland mono color to one that is show car quality. Spectacular. And that was only after one coat of ZAINO. Can't wait to get a few more lawyers on it. This reminds me of Lime Rock Green the way it changes hue depending on lighting.

Black rose is looking better and better to me, especially in low light. One of the few colors that I like more when it's cloudy (and/or in parking garages and such).

A very interesting color indeed for a Corvette....

Default What color is black rose?

Talkin' cars and folks ask me what color it is. "black rose metallic". What the heck color is that? Particularly old guys like me who had only 8 colors of crayons. I tell 'em "think bing cherry with glitter". Whatever. Compare it to whatever floats your boat.



different color depending on the light

I feel that in Black rose, the C7 GS looks as good as almost any car on the road!

Aren't you glad they didn't call the color "Metallic Eggplant"? But I think it's a gorgeous color. It really is unique and pops in the sun.

Eh, better that than say, "Menopause Mauve" instead of Torch Red.

It is a great color. I have gotten comments ranging from "rad" to "best Corvette color ever". It is a conversation starter.
