What color is "Black Platinum Stainless Steel"?

[ecoope]

I was about to order some matt black tailgate letters from Etsy, and thought I'd check first. Turns out Ford has "Black Platinum Stainless Steel" letters on sale. Cheaper than Etsy and I can pick them up at the dealer. But before I order them...exactly what color is that? Is that a fancy name for "gloss black"???

IDK, but Putco describes it as a "unique mirrored, black platinum finish."

Link to the Ford letters on sale?

EDIT: Never mind, I did what I should have done before and searched for it myself. Here's the link: https://www.ford.com/product/exteri...ng-black-platinum-stainless-steel-p2947289417

Didn't know they existed, thank you... ordered today.

I ordered them when I had my Maverick thinking they were black and to my surprise they were like a mirror finish. They appear to be a different color when the light hits them in different directions. So, depending how the light hits them it can look like you have some of the letters a different color than the others. I didn't like them at all.

I like my raised flat black ones I got on Esty, the others are too flat and shinny for me.

I went black shadow reflective. When the light hits them looks cool.

It's somewhat like a black chrome, but in a lighter shade. I have the Ford accessory "black platinum stainless steel door sill plates" in my 2024 Ranger. Depending on the amount of light and viewing angle used when looking at them, the "black platinum" can look anywhere from black chrome to near conventional chrome......bit like a chrome-illusion if that makes any sense.
