Desert Rose vs Dim Grey: the differences.

The first difference between Desert Rose and Dim Grey is depth: Desert Rose reads darker, so it hides body lines that Dim Grey shows. The second is the finish: Desert Rose is offered in chrome, Dim Grey 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.
