Default Black Denim vs. Vivid Black

looking for opinions and expertise on one versus the other. Easier to clean. match parts etc.
leaning towards Black Denim but wondering if the regular black will be easier to live with.

Fortunately they both make the bike go faster ; )

I like the denim as well.

I refer to the other as "funeral black". It always did remind me of a hearse.

I think the denim would show less scratches and gunk

But then the vivid black would be easier to match up parts to it would seem

I love both of them actually I would have a tough time deciding also

I wanted denim but ended up with vivid. Vivid is more showy and denim has a more bada$$ chopper look. Vivid you can just wipe off with some quick detailer but im not sure how denim would react...

Scarlet Red!! But between the black denim and the vivid black, I would have to choose the denim one.

I like vivid black, is denim a fad that will be outdated before you know it?
