Gloss Catechu Black vs Gloss Marrakesh Brown

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Gloss Catechu Black (#222223) reads darker than Gloss Marrakesh Brown (#5B3821), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Gloss Marrakesh Brown lifts them.

Gloss Catechu Black vs Gloss Marrakesh Brown: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Catechu Black and Gloss Marrakesh Brown is depth: Gloss Catechu Black reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Marrakesh Brown shows. 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.
