Gloss Charcoal Metallic vs Gloss Grey Cast Iron: the differences.

The first difference between Gloss Charcoal Metallic and Gloss Grey Cast Iron is depth: Gloss Charcoal Metallic reads darker, so it hides body lines that Gloss Grey Cast Iron 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.
