Navy Black vs Nova Blue: the differences.

The differences between Navy Black and Nova Blue are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is the finish: Navy Black is offered in satin, Nova Blue in chrome. 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.

Side by side

Navy Black is a wrap in the Specced catalogue, swatched at #333438. It renders with a satin finish — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to pick. Body shape, paint condition and the light you photograph in all change how it lands, so the only honest preview of Navy Black is one made from a photo of your own car.
