Chelsea Rose vs China Blue

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

China Blue (#5E79A4) reads darker than Chelsea Rose (#FB7F7C), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Chelsea Rose lifts them. Both films carry a gloss 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.

Chelsea Rose vs China Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Chelsea Rose and China Blue is depth: China Blue reads darker, so it hides body lines that Chelsea Rose 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.
