Excelsior Blue vs Verde Solaris

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Excelsior Blue (#02243F) reads darker than Verde Solaris (#615600), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Verde Solaris lifts them. Both films carry a metallic 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.

Excelsior Blue vs Verde Solaris: the differences.

The first difference between Excelsior Blue and Verde Solaris is depth: Excelsior Blue reads darker, so it hides body lines that Verde Solaris shows. The second is not the finish: both are metallic 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.
