It's been done to death on here.
It's always Sapphire Black.
Jet/Carbon etc is a good substitute, same way as dust is a good substitute if you run out of ketchup.

I've had 2 Jet Blacks and now a Sapphire. Love the Sapphire. Dust doesn't show as much. But the best thing I like about it, it shows the curves and lines of the car much better through shadows and highlights. Where Jet Black is almost "flatter" looking.
