Which is darker, Gloss Boat Blue or Gloss Ember Black?

Gloss Boat Blue vs Gloss Ember Black

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Gloss Boat Blue (#080F2E) and Gloss Ember Black (#22171E) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Both films carry a gloss 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.

Gloss Boat Blue vs Gloss Ember Black: the differences.

The differences between Gloss Boat Blue and Gloss Ember Black are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is not the finish: both are gloss 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.
