John Lewis has just Sold his Aceca which was Black Pearl. It is not 100% black, but a very dark grey almost black ( metalic ). It is a sod to photograph as the pigments in the paint make it absord the colours nearby, hence it has a blue hint in certain light, can look black in poor light yet have green hint if parked on grass.
Suggest you email Steve Gray of Brooklands motor company or a AC specialist who might be able to confirm general colour make up.
Alternatively try some of the Old paint manufacturers e.g valantines based in Uxbridge, Middlesex England, they should have record on Micro fish, Or Glasurit based in Oxfordshire.

Great colour really suits the Ace, Aceca and early Cobra.
Trouble is it's impossible to match from a photograph, you really nead a decent paint sample or better still the % breakdown of each colour pigment to make up the correct finished colour. Again with Metalic Paint the colour will vary pending:- primer, gun pressure , temperature and distance from gun to panel, not forgetting the thinners which can also effect the paint colour.
Good luck, However, If you dont have any success, give me a call on 00 44 (0) 7889 298 226 and I will try to divert into Glasurit and request colour Formula.
