Navy Black vs Nickel: the differences.

The first difference between Navy Black and Nickel is depth: Navy Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Nickel shows. The second is the finish: Navy Black is offered in satin, Nickel in metallic. 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.
