My 2011 is called darkness black. The colour code is NH-463M.
Yup- it is a common Honda color apparently- available on the overseas CB1100, on the Goldwing, on the CBR, VFR, etc..
Best I can tell, it looks like this-

So more dark grey than true black, and more glitter than traditional paint look to me.

I believe so. It is also a low maintenance colour/finish. That is, no waxing/polishing required.

Your picture looks a bit matt, dubs. Here's a picture of my bike on the day I bought it.

Any chance you have a more close up on the tank?

I'll have a hunt through my pictures. Otherwise I'll wheel it out later and try taking a couple, although I'm never sure pictures do colours justice.

Cormanus: Did you acquire the CB used?
The exhaust system looks like it saw some action.
