Is black always the same color?

Some black paint will have a warm tone (more red) and some have a cool tone (more blue) and everything in between. It really depends on what you put with it. ie. red stripes may "pop" on a cooler black due to a slight contrast of hue. you would need to have a buch of spayed panels in front of you to see the difference. In the design studios here in Detroit there are hundreds of panels hung on the walls. It becomes really obvious when you can see large domes painted up and hung in a room with color corrected light. I know that's not realistic for most people, can't imagine the cost of even just a few panels. I would probably spray up some panels before final paint to compare things like stipe colors against the base color. It would be cheaper to change the color before it's on the car.
