Deep Navy vs Black

Paint comparison · updated Jul 2026

Deep Navy (#0A1F44) and Black (#232529) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Both render in gloss, satin or matte, so the finish is a separate decision from the colour and you can try either one in all three. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both of them further than the swatch chips suggest, so the only honest comparison is the two rendered on the same car.
