Direct comparison, same light, cars parked next to each other:
Black sapphire from far looks basically the same as Jet Black: But up close and in bright light, you can easily see the flecks in the paint: The further you step back, the less you see the flecks: Keep in mind that a black car isn't a car, it's a full-time detailing job.

JB shows the real deep black color under the sun. You be the judge

The darker, and deeper the color is on a black car the better it looks. JB undisputably betters SB in regards to these qualities. JB is my choice.
