Frozen Matte Shark Grey vs Matrix Black: the differences.

The first difference between Frozen Matte Shark Grey and Matrix Black is depth: Matrix Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Frozen Matte Shark Grey 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.
