I've seen a car painted like that.  I do not remember what it was.  It was really cool looking.  I assumed it was just a really dark blue.  Which of course it is. 

If ya want a black paint, ya gotta mix a lot of other colors together! 
I've seen cars with black paint that looked blue, or even red under certain lighting. It has to do with the tinting used in/on the paint. Black cherry....anyone remember that color? Was black as it could be until the sun hit it...then is was black with a tinge of dark red....be-U-tee-ful color!

black cherry if I'm remembering the same color , had metallic in it. imo black paint with metallic looks terrible. when i spray black i spray the base then 75% base 25% clear mix then 50/50 then 25% base 75% clear followed by 100% clear that will give you a black finish thats unreal. but its a lot of work and a lot of material.
