Carbon Black Metallic

A near-total-absorption metallic black with the faintest blue-cool cast that becomes perceptible only in direct sun — deep, serious, and thoroughly modern in character — Carbon Black Metallic (Karbonschwarz Metallic, code 7C3) originates from the BMW palette, where it achieved significant popularity before being incorporated into Porsche's PTS programme. The hex #1B1B1B confirms near-total darkness with essentially no reflective warm undertone. The code 7C3 is a BMW origin code that Porsche adopted for shared-formula use, confirmed in multiple cross-reference databases. Rennbow records it as PTS-eligible across current Porsche model lines. Among near-black metallics in the Porsche catalogue, Carbon Black Metallic's slight cool-blue cast distinguishes it from the warmer Jet Black Pearl and the neutral Basalt Black Metallic, making it the choice for buyers who want a black with a very subtle cool depth. On the 911, where the body surfaces are complex enough to reveal the metallic layer's dimensional quality at close range, Carbon Black Metallic creates a brooding, sophisticated specification that photographs extremely well.
