So what "color" is Hyper Black

I'm looking at a Enkei wheel


and I'm looking at Hyper Black. But has anyone seen Enkei Hyper Black Wheels. My guess is that it's really just a grey color pretty short of gun metal and way short of black but certinaly not silver either. Anyone care to weigh in on what the color would really look like?

Hyper black is darker than gunmetal but lighter than black and most companies that are calling their wheels "hyper black" are also referring to the dark gunmetal chrome shine that the wheels have. It doesnt exactly shine like chrome but its a shiney darker version of gunmetal

It's a black base coat with a very fine silver sprayed over it. The silver is sprayed very thin so that the black base darkens the overall look. As stated above it looks like SE wheels.

Would you say hyper black is a lighter version of black chrome?
