Perfect Black vs Phantom Black Metallic

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Perfect Black (#010101) and Phantom Black Metallic (#190F07) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Perfect Black comes in gloss; Phantom Black Metallic 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.

Perfect Black vs Phantom Black Metallic: the differences.

The differences between Perfect Black and Phantom Black Metallic are hue and finish rather than depth — the two sit at almost the same lightness. The second is the finish: Perfect Black is offered in gloss, Phantom Black Metallic 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.
