Thanks Marty.......

Is it just the one black, I assume this is the black they use on the roofs of say a white defender.

I think Land Rover only have the one black across the whole range,but I'm not certain. On my Defender's spec sheet it specifies black for the roof,which turns out to be the same as the rest of the vehicle, with only one paint code on the compliance plate.

There were different blacks, Santorini is the one that was most recent, has a metallic fleck, and is used for the roof and grille etc on 'Black Pack' vehicles.
There's also Barolo, which is a bit more red rather than a true black, and Java was used a few years back, and I think it was a flatter black. I have a feeling there was one more, but not 100% on that.

Yes but the Puma Black is Santorini. As Marty said.

Yes but the Puma Black is Santorini. As Marty said.

And as I said there are Pumas in both Java and Santorini.
What makes Santorini 'Puma Black'?

Java as well.....that didn't come up in searches.

The spray painters are doing Santorini

Sorry mate. When I was looking at Puma Colours Santorini was the only option I saw. Mine has a Santorini Black roof. Per haps the other Blacks were on earlier models, just as Orkney Grey was replaced by Corris Grey.
