Default NBP VS. FBP color

I checked the "Search"~ recent & archives.... could not help me.

1)What year did both of these come in only?

2)What is the color pearl difference?

3)Which is better?

Thanks for answering my 2 questions

Nighthawk Black Pearl was only on the 2001 Type R's and it was black with blue specs in it.

Flamanco Black Pearl was only on the 2000 Type R's and it was black with specs of green, blue, orange, yellow, etc.... in it

It's all personal preferance, but I prefer the NBP

I have Nighthawk Black pearl on my EK, and from my observation, in the daytime it comes out as a really dark navy blue..somewhat like Opal Black my M-Benz.
So if ur looking for a true black, Flamenco Black Pearl might be a better choice for you.

I have a 2000 FBP and my girl's brother has a 01 NBP. His looks like it has more pearl in it. I like NBP better.
