It's Mazda's Sparkling Black Metalic (H1) Matt. It's hard to get good photos of it due to the upload size limitations of this site. I had it re-painted a couple of years ago but it is a tough color to duplicate when it's not factory done. It's more of a "charcoal gray" metalic now. I'm happy with the way it turned out.

I am, of course, partial to the original formula white mine came with. I had it painted the same color, and the shop did an awesome job!

Misty blue (U6), as in my avatar. But my two silver (K3) 85s are growing on me. I've always liked the white or yellow or beige 7s, too. Had a nice red 7 once.

Get a good paint job, and you'll like any color.

And your car was the inspiration to go with the Konig wheels. Yours looked so damn good with that combination!
