China Blue vs Citrus Green

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

China Blue (#5E79A4) reads darker than Citrus Green (#90B135), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Citrus Green 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.

China Blue vs Citrus Green: the differences.

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