Which is darker, Velour Red or Venetian Violet?

Neither, really. Velour Red (#381317) and Venetian Violet (#391F37) 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 Velour Red and Venetian Violet come in?

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

Yes. Upload a photo of your car to Specced, pick Velour Red, then Venetian Violet, and you get a photoreal render of each on your own car to compare side by side. Free, no account needed.

Velour Red vs Venetian Violet

Covering comparison · updated août 2026

Velour Red (#381317) and Venetian Violet (#391F37) 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 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.

Velour Red vs Venetian Violet: the differences.

The differences between Velour Red and Venetian Violet are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. 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.
