Mineral Grey vs Nickel

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Mineral Grey (#2C2D29) reads darker than Nickel (#A7A6B0), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Nickel lifts them. Both films carry a metallic 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.

Mineral Grey vs Nickel: the differences.

The first difference between Mineral Grey and Nickel is depth: Mineral Grey reads darker, so it hides body lines that Nickel 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.
