Black pearl color - any suggestions?

Hi all!

My car just got in for a paintjob, she is being prepped right now, so I have the hardest task - picking a color. My civic is currently the standart black pearl, but I don't like it. The color is somehow not permanent, in some conditions it is not pure black, but goes to grey or something like that.

What I want is a pure black car, that doesn't change its color that much under direct sun light, but also has metallic particles /I don't know how are those called in english/.

So, what colors would you suggest?

I have a thought, but I can't seem to find a car which has this kind of color on it, so I can see it, either on a photo or in person. I want a pure black color with yellow metallic particles, so when under direct light it shows up only the yellow color, no green or anything.

:)
If I don't get any info from you I will be painting it pure black, no metallics - a color from Lotus.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Granada black pearl. Has that hint of gold flakes when the sun hits it.

This Granada color has exactly the look I am trying to avoid - it looks somehow goes to gray. :?

Thank for the suggestion though! :)
