Gloss Elderberry Purple vs Gloss Montpellier Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Elderberry Purple and Gloss Montpellier Blue is depth: Gloss Elderberry Purple reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Montpellier Blue 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.
