Casting Matte Black vs Ceramics Lavender Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Casting Matte Black and Ceramics Lavender Blue is depth: Casting Matte Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Ceramics Lavender Blue shows. The second is not the finish: both are matte 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.
