Dark Platinum (Gloss Metallic) vs Deep Blue

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Deep Blue (#00165C) reads darker than Dark Platinum (Gloss Metallic) (#383A41), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Dark Platinum (Gloss Metallic) lifts them.

Dark Platinum (Gloss Metallic) vs Deep Blue: the differences.

The first difference between Dark Platinum (Gloss Metallic) and Deep Blue is depth: Deep Blue reads darker, so it hides body lines that Dark Platinum (Gloss Metallic) shows. The second is not the finish: both are metallic 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.
