Satin Dark Basalt vs Satin Dark Grey

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Satin Dark Basalt (#171614) reads darker than Satin Dark Grey (#6C7079), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Satin Dark Grey lifts them. Both films carry a satin finish, so the choice is purely the colour. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Satin Dark Basalt vs Satin Dark Grey: the differences.

The first difference between Satin Dark Basalt and Satin Dark Grey is depth: Satin Dark Basalt reads darker, so it hides body lines that Satin Dark Grey shows. The second is not the finish: both are satin 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.
