Which is darker, Gloss Black or Gloss Obsidian Black?

Neither, really. Gloss Black (#09080D) and Gloss Obsidian Black (#000000) have almost the same relative luminance, so they read at the same level of darkness and differ in hue and finish instead.

Gloss Black vs Gloss Obsidian Black

Q: What finishes do Gloss Black and Gloss Obsidian Black come in?

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

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Gloss Black (#09080D) and Gloss Obsidian Black (#000000) 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 gloss 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.

Gloss Black vs Gloss Obsidian Black: the differences.

The differences between Gloss Black and Gloss Obsidian Black are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is not the finish: both are gloss 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.
