The colors quoted in the article are 2007 colors. For 2008 you have the Solar Flare Metallic-28U (xtra cost paint),
midnight blue metallic,
black,
birch white,
Carbon Flash Metallic-58U (xtra cost paint, and only on the H3x), boulder gray metallic,
sonoma red (only on the H3x) and
victory red.

That is a list from the ordering guide. However, when I ran the VIN on a dark gray metallic H3 the other day, the vehicle ID system stated the color of the paint was Graphite Metallic. So, is it Graphite or Carbon Flash Metallic? All I can say is it is a darn good looking color. I believe the problem might be that this same paint is available on the Acadia and is called Graphite Metallic, while it appears marketing wants to call it Carbon Flash on the H3.

Wonderful, a lot of talk about badging.

Our parts say carbon Flash. I thought it was available on all H3's, it's even available on the pickups.

Order sheets show carbon flash, but VIS shows graphite. Eh, no matter what they call it, it is a great color for those who like dark colors.

Not available in this neck of the woods, damn it, anyhow just put a deposit down on a '07 Lunar Grey H3 Adv package. Hope to pick it up this week

I thought the V8 was going to be produced in S. Africa later this year. I might be wrong.
