Which is darker, Gloss Amethyst or Matte Amethyst?

Neither, really. Gloss Amethyst (#956FAE) and Matte Amethyst (#956FAE) have almost the same relative luminance, so they read at the same level of darkness and differ in hue and finish instead.

What finishes do Gloss Amethyst and Matte Amethyst come in?

Both are iridescent films — the sheen belongs to the film itself, so there is no separate finish to choose.

Can I see Gloss Amethyst and Matte Amethyst on my own car?

Yes. Upload a photo of your car to Specced, pick Gloss Amethyst, then Matte Amethyst, and you get a photoreal render of each on your own car to compare side by side. Free, no account needed.

Gloss Amethyst vs Matte Amethyst

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Gloss Amethyst (#956FAE) and Matte Amethyst (#956FAE) 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 iridescent 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 Amethyst vs Matte Amethyst: the differences.

The differences between Gloss Amethyst and Matte Amethyst are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is not the finish: both are iridescent 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.
