Pure Metal Black vs Pure Metal Brown Grey: the differences.

The first difference between Pure Metal Black and Pure Metal Brown Grey is depth: Pure Metal Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Pure Metal Brown Grey 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.
