There's only ONE black - but 2 finishes.
Either Onyx (non-metallic) - ON PHASE 1 CARS, or Onyx Metallic [aka Obsidian] - ON PHASE 2 CARS 
The actual black is the same, but obviously the metallic has metal flakes in it (which makes it look lighter)

black is a colour. Metallic is a finish, not a colour.
So only one COLOUR (Ryan asked how many different colour blacks are there?)

Technically there is no colour as black as it is mixed up with all different colours.
You have the solid black which is EXY and you have the met black which is EXL
So there is 2 blacks.
Metallic is not a finish it is a base coat that has metal flakes in.

Ya don't want to put Onyx black next to Obsidian black from panel to panel as they look entirely different due to the metalic flecks in the colour coat of Obsidian. Obsidian is definitely a touch lighter. llama's (Alanah) old 206 had the 2 different shades on it and she said herself that it looked horrendous and it was noticeable even though she bought the car like that!
In my books...there are 2 shades of black, otherwise Peugeot wouldn't have called them (that's 3rd person plural) Onyx Black and Obsidian Black.
I think on my 180 sometimes it looks like a really dark gray on a really sunny day when the light's at it's highest intensity.

Brian - I agree with the difference!
My Onyx (non-metallic) GTI had metallic black sideskirts which made the skirts lighter in colour - even though it was still Onyx black (but metallic).
