Black Silver (#433B3A) and Blue Gem (#16258E) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Black Silver comes in satin; Blue Gem in gloss. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests.

Black Silver vs Blue Gem: the differences.

The differences between Black Silver and Blue Gem are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness.
