Default Why are European cars' colors exagerated?

Ive been noticing in the sigs of most people on the sight that they have the color of their car. I know Japenese cars call em red, black, silver, blue, etc... My car is labeled "Ebony Pearl Effect" (Black) and ive seen Volcanic Black as well as others...is this just to make it sound better or what?

yeah, my scion tC is Flint Mica, but I was leaning towards Indigo Ink Pearl or Arctic White. Japanese companies do it too.

then.. they find out they can't afford an Audi, because we live in god damn (yet incredible ) Canada, where A4s don't go for 10K every day like they do in the States [:@]
