There are different shades of black but it is definitely the easiest to match. But it can look mismatched just because the amount of metallic in the paint.

its not just the metallic. the gloss can totally throw off paint. that aside, his rims are not getting painted balck, it's graphite/grey, and so is the truck. I went with black rims cuz I was afraid the graphite spray wouldn't color match to the truck.
