I agree, Black Sapphire Metallic. It's got to be black!

In case anyone was wondering, I decided to tally the votes manually instead of creating a poll. I've found that people will answer by posting a reply and forget to cast a vote using the forum poll.

A little more work, but this will increase the accuracy of the results.

My gut feeling tells me Black will outnumber the closest competing color by x2.
