I'm interested, but a question first; it is black or is it just the lighting that makes the blue look black? I did some searching around and can't find anything online about DG producing both black and blue pedals for this model. All the ones I see for sale are that neat metallic blue. If it is in fact black, just curious if it's an indication of a version difference or just purely cosmetic. I know retailers sometimes work with manufacturers to produce special runs in different colors, and sometimes even with new features.
