Default does the BOP look black at night?

I am going to the dealership tonight and I was going to order a white and wait awhile but they have a blue in stock. I see alot of whites aroud but I have yet to see a blue in person and I think it actually looks pretty nice but my question is, does it look black at night because I would really like that haha

when i first saw mine at the dealership it was at night and i was talking to my salesguy and i remember saying "that's not blue, thats definately black" It looks black at night unless you're right under a light, but i for one love the look of BOP

the BOP is a great color. with low lighting, just about any dark color will look black. but in the sunlight, that car has like multiple shades...it just plain looks great

i have the Black Cherry Pearl, and it def. looks black at night. beware tho, its very hard to keep clean. if i had it to do all over again, i would get the white, just so i wouldn't have to wash it all the time. but when its clean, man oh man its pretty. same with the bop.

My whole family the only cars weve ever got were red fords and now im so sick of red that if I drive another one ill run it off the cliff haha around here blue is a really rare color on a car and thatrs what I want, I car different from others. I was planning on white but ive seen alot of white xb's lately let alone white cars that I knew I needed something else

I'm going through the same problem as you are. I want a Black Cherry xB but man o man, that blue xB looks SWEET! Here in Chicago, the blue xB is a "rare" color...

Default Does the BOP look black at night?

have had a bop for over a year and one good thing is that it does look black at night. i just put in black carbon fiber leather inserts to play off the black interior but also had gary nish do my door sills and console in candy blue cf for a totally different but color matching effect. hard to clean though but when you stay on top off it the bop and red are both intense colors with strong style points.

The blue and maroon are both awesome colors when clean. But its impossible to keep clean. I detailed for 2 1/2 years and those two colors plus black are the hardest to mantain and keep clean.
Good Luck

I had my pick of all the colors when I purchased (they were all on the lot) and I picked the BOP because it was the "deepest" paint. It looks like navy or black at night but when light hits it or in direct sunlight it shows all kinds of vibrant hues of blue. Hard to keep clean for sure though.

It is also arguably the rarest color too. (other than the LTO colors)

Unless there is a flash or some light bouncing off the Blue, it looks black at night.

My mom thought my car was black when i first took her home, and that was in regular daylight.

I love my BOP, and yeah it really does look like its black at night. But if it looks black at night, I guess thats a good thing because that means that you are really keeping it clean. :D

yeah my friend got one. and everytime i see it on the road night or day (from a distance) i thought it was bsp. and i would tell him hey seen a bsp and it's running the same set up as you. but that was him. only up close in the day can you tell it's a bop. but standing next to it. bop would be my first choice if i kailua didn't rain as much as it does.
