Royal Blue vs Sable Black: the differences.

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