A near-total-absorption metallic black with extremely fine flake that gives the finish a faint dimensional quality without any obvious reflective sheen — Chromite Black Metallic (Chromitschwarz Metallic) is one of the newest additions to Porsche's standard palette, introduced on the Cayenne for the 2024 model year. The name references chromite, the iron chromium oxide mineral prized for its extreme darkness and dense, light-absorbing properties. The hex #1C1C1C confirms near-total darkness. For buyers seeking the darkest, most enveloping metallic black currently available on a Porsche, Chromite Black Metallic represents the most extreme option on the standard palette — deeper than Jet Black Pearl, more dimensional than solid Black, and markedly different from the blue-tinted Carbon Black Metallic. Its 2024-present status means it is currently orderable across models where it has been made available.
