Black Tulip vs Blue Gem: the differences.

The first difference between Black Tulip and Blue Gem is depth: Black Tulip reads darker, so it hides body lines that Blue Gem shows. The second is the finish: Black Tulip is offered in metallic, Blue Gem in gloss. 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.
