Default Phantom Black?
Just got back from the SOT in LA and they didn't have one in Phantom black, only Daytona Gray, Mugello Blue and the Yellow. I was asking around what the Phantom black looks like and no one there could tell me. Anyone in the NY or Chicago SOT can tell me how it's different from Brilliant Black?

Thanks!

Default Agreed. I think it is a shade darker and a little more metallic than ebony pearl.
If that makes any sense.

Guessing, but the PB has a Pearl where the BB is just metallic. Less depth.

Default having owned ebony...
Ebony Pearl has rainbow flecking. You can see flecks of purple and yellow. Phantom appears to be more of a silver metallic fleck.
