Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

The first difference between Gloss Black Metallic and High Gloss White Aluminum is depth: Gloss Black Metallic reads darker, so it hides body lines that High Gloss White Aluminum shows. 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.
