Which is darker, Crimson Red or Dark Platinum (Satin)?

Neither, really. Crimson Red (#7B1009) and Dark Platinum (Satin) (#37363C) 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 Crimson Red and Dark Platinum (Satin) come in?

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

Crimson Red vs Dark Platinum (Satin)

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Crimson Red (#7B1009) and Dark Platinum (Satin) (#37363C) 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 satin 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.

Crimson Red vs Dark Platinum (Satin): the differences.

The differences between Crimson Red and Dark Platinum (Satin) are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is not the finish: both are satin 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.
