Ultimate Black vs Velour Red

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Ultimate Black (#211F20) and Velour Red (#381317) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Ultimate Black comes in gloss; Velour Red in metallic. 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.

Ultimate Black vs Velour Red: the differences.

The differences between Ultimate Black and Velour Red are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is the finish: Ultimate Black is offered in gloss, Velour Red in metallic. 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.
