Gloss Ruby Red Metallic vs Matte Aluminium Red
Wrap comparison · updated Nov 2026
Gloss Ruby Red Metallic (#B31F24) and Matte Aluminium Red (#804948) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Both films carry a metallic finish, so the choice is purely the colour. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

The differences between Gloss Ruby Red Metallic and Matte Aluminium Red are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is not the finish: both are metallic films, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.
