They are different colors but I don't know the difference. I think black onyx is a deeper black, but that's just a guess.

I have Black Onyx (2006 only). Look at my car at Wek Fest. Don't think there is any metallic in it.

Looking at a computer screen you cannot possibly tell the difference. You'll need to see it in person in my opinion.
