Excelsior Blue vs Perfect Black

Wrap comparison · updated Aug 2026

Excelsior Blue (#02243F) and Perfect Black (#010101) sit at almost the same lightness, so the difference between them is hue and finish rather than how dark they read. Excelsior Blue comes in metallic; Perfect Black in gloss. 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.

Excelsior Blue vs Perfect Black: the differences.

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