Here are a few pics of my bike in the John Deere Blitz Black that was mentioned above. i hope this helps a little.
also i read somewhere that the black denim is extreemly difficult to color match. Harley isn't make it easy on us who want that color.

So I am just going to repaint the whole bike to match my front fender that I painted.

Denim isnt "flat " it is basicaly the sheen that basecoat has before it is cleared. Practly every car that I repair in my shop would be considered " Denim" beford I cleared it,regardless of its color. There are a few ways that a body shop can seal the base and get that effect. They can use Matte clear, or like I use to do when Mercedes bumpers had the same type finish, I would add 30% clear urethane hardener to my basecoat and not clear it . after it was baked the result was basically the same thing as a " Denim " finish

John Deere Blitz Black is made by Valspar, and is just an Enamel-it is not resistant to Chemicals, and is sold without a Hardener, so I would be careful if I were using it. Think about Tractors-how long is it before the Paint starts to dull? Not long, which is a characteristic of Enamel Paint.
I would look at Dupont or SEM-they both make a matte finish Paint that is sold as "Hot Rod Black" (Dupont Hot Hues line) and "Hot Rod Flatz" (SEM)-either one is a catalyzed, single stage Paint, and will give you a durable finish-
