My Dad's V12 is UM black.

Its black with a hint of blue most the time, but a deep blue when the light hits it.

Yes that could well be Ultramarine - I've seen it on a V12VS in JCT about 6mths ago.
It is Black but with Blue metallic flake - just like Storm Black is Black with Red metallic flake.
The blue is much more noticeable than the red in Storm Black, he had a V8 in that colour previously and it was really rare the flake was really visible. The blue in UM black is very prominent. It is Black but with Blue metallic flake - just like Storm Black is Black with Red metallic flake.

Thanks guys.....
Does anyone know what category this colour comes under price wise ? Is it an AML special colour, so £3495 ?
It was a new colour for MY17 - details here (ooh and I pic that I posted - reposed below)Does anyone know what category this colour comes under price wise ? Is it an AML special colour, so £3495 ?
In MY17 it was a "AML Special colour" - which in MY17 pricing was £3,495, but please bear in mind colours can change category each year, and the prices for each category changes too, so given MY18 is out now, this info may all be wrong.

It was available before MY17, my dad's car is a 2015 manufactured MY16. Ex-management car.

Interesting, maybe being ex-manangement it was the trail car for that colour? The link (in the link) I posted was from a far eastern dealer who had posted that they were the new colours MY17, so maybe your dad's is a one off that year?

Ry - check out that link, GT8 in Ultramarine at AM Bristol
They've photographed it outside and it gives you a good feel for how it appears in different light conditions. In the strongest sunshine its a lovely blue (like midnight), in less than strong sunshine you get a nice deep black

Thanks all, some good examples there. I was hoping it would appear a bit more blue for most of the time and not black if that makes any sense.
Also a huge fan of this however I'm guessing that's going to be a crazy price colour (anyone got any idea) ? A bit controversial I know, but with cream truffle and purple stitching.....
Not for the conservative types I know, but hey

That 1-77 colour is lovely. I had my second TVR in a similar 'Cadburys purple'. My first TVR I wanted in a purple like the 1-77 one you posted, however I was always looking for purple but it was actually called Rolex Blue.
My second one in purple was actually a Rover colour (on the 200s and Coupes).
If you can provide the colour code from DuPont I presume Q could match it, but as you say ???
You're right UM seems very black unless in brighter lights.

I'm not sure, I think it's brighter than Amythest......but I'm not sure I've ever seen an Amythest on a real car so hard to compare.
Surely if it's a previous Q colour then it will be 4 grand ?
Such a hard thing, see saw between more classy or balls to the wall
Adam - im sure I saw Kermit green as an available colour on the configuration the other day....but not there now.

It is there, but the configurator is buggy to say the least. To get Kermit to appear you need to select a Roadster, put the roof up - then a handful of extra colours appear, including Kermit. It is VERY buggy...Can you tell how many hours I spent using it?
