I personally like NHBP (nighthawk black pearl) a lot. OEM Accord color.

Some people really like the Java Black (or something like that) from the STI.

and Lexus always has nice colors, haha. idk if the black is anything special...

Flat black with primer showing has been a hit in the Civic community forever!

Either get a black with some pearl or metallic falkes to add character, or get at least 4 coats of clear on regular black and make it a mile deep.

My Grandpa's '37 Buick has 2 coats of no name black paint and 4 coats of clear, all done by his autobody students. It looks like a $10k paintjob. I wish I could show you, but it's one of those real life things.

I got an idea, go to different dealers and look at black cars. Find the color you like. Look into the door jam and get the paint code.

What finish are you wanting...matte, satin, gloss? Do you want a plain black, a metallic black, a pearl black? Are you wanting a two-stage, three-stage, or kandy paintjob? The options are endless.
