Every new Defender around appears to be in Black, presumably Santorini. Is this the same as Porsche Jet Black Metallic?

Toooooo be fair, they do look very good in black. The car has lots of black trims and bodywork (A, B, C pillars and at some trim levels, roof) that you don't get body coloured, so if you want the entire vehicle one colour, black is the only option.

That said, I do like some of the greens on option. The V8 only comes in black and.... drumroll please .... grey!

Yep. But I was curious whether Santorini had the same metalflake hue as JBM.

Look ……. every car looks great in Black.

For all of five minutes until you drive a few meters then it looks Volcano Grey and then onto Dolomite.

For some reason 3 out of my last five cars have all been black, must be some brain affliction!
