Jet Black Metallic

Jet Black Metallic (Jetschwarz Metallic, code C9X) is a deep, near-pure black metallic at #323137 — the premier black in Porsche's modern catalogue, combining an essentially black base with fine pearl-effect metallic particles that give it a subtle depth and dimensionality entirely absent from solid black. It is also listed as Deep Black Pearl Effect in some market documentation. Rennbow documents it extensively across the modern Porsche range: 911 from 2014 to present, Cayenne from 2012 through 2023, Macan from 2015, Panamera from 2014, Boxster/718/Cayman across multiple generations, and Taycan from 2020 — making it one of the most cross-platform colours in the current catalogue. It is also noted to have appeared on the 911 SC in 1980 under an earlier variant of the code, suggesting a historical connection to Porsche's black metallic tradition predating the modern formulation. Seventy-five documented community examples confirm Jet Black Metallic as one of the three or four most commonly documented colours in the entire Stuttcars database.
