Matte Metallic Charcoal vs Matte Metallic Night Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Matte Metallic Charcoal and Matte Metallic Night Blue is depth: Matte Metallic Night Blue reads darker, so it hides body lines that Matte Metallic Charcoal shows. The second is not the finish: both are metallic films, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. 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.
