Color match PPF & vinyl wrap to OEM factory paint
Need a color matched PPF or vinyl wrap for Ferrari Rosso Corsa, Audi Nardo Grey or BMW Yas Marina Blue? Enter a hex code or pick a factory paint and we'll rank the closest color-matching films across 27+ brands and 1,042 colors by perceptual color distance (ΔE).
Closest matching vinyl wraps
ΔE under ~2 is a near-exact match, under ~5 is a close match. Lighting and finish change real-world appearance - always confirm with a physical sample.
How this color compares to OEM paints
Your target #1C2236 read against popular factory colors - ranked by hue family, saturation and lightness so you can describe it to clients in familiar terms.
Example: a gloss metallic deep blue typically reads closest to Audi Navarra Blue, with the same saturation as Porsche Gentian Blue, the same glow as Lexus Structural Blue, and deeper than Porsche Shark Blue. These statements are computed live from the color you enter.

How wrap color matching works
Perceptual ΔE matching
We convert paint and vinyl to CIE-Lab and rank by Delta-E - the same color science print and paint pros use, not naive RGB distance.
Every brand, one search
Compare 1,042+ films from 3M, Avery Dennison, KPMF, Hexis, TeckWrap, Inozetek and more in a single ranked list.
OEM paint library
Start from real factory codes like Nardo Grey, Rosso Corsa or Bayside Blue instead of guessing a hex value.
Color match FAQs
How do you match a paint color to a vinyl wrap?
+
Enter a hex code or choose a factory paint and our tool converts both colors to the CIE-Lab color space, then ranks every wrap in the library by ΔE (Delta-E) - the industry-standard measure of perceptual color difference. Lower ΔE means a closer visual match.
What is a good ΔE (Delta-E) for a color match?
+
A ΔE under 1 is imperceptible to the human eye, under 2 is a near-exact match, and under 5 is a close match that most clients accept. Finish (gloss, satin, matte) and lighting also affect how close two colors look in person.
Can I match OEM factory paint codes like Audi Nardo Grey?
+
Yes. We include factory paint references for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge and more, so you can find the closest vinyl wrap to a popular OEM color in one click.
Can I get color matched PPF instead of vinyl wrap?
+
Yes. Colored PPF lines (gloss, satin and matte) can be matched to factory paint the same way as vinyl. Filter results by the PPF finish to match PPF to factory paint — useful when a client wants OEM color with stone-chip protection on high-impact panels.
Will the wrap look exactly like the paint?
+
Color is only part of the picture. A gloss vinyl over a metallic paint reads slightly different than the original because of flake and clear-coat depth. Always confirm the final choice with a physical sample under the lighting where the car will be seen.
How we source colors: Wrap hex values are curated from manufacturer technical data sheets and physical swatch references; OEM paints use published factory color data. Perceptual color matching is computed with the ISO/CIE 11664-6:2014 CIEDE2000 (ΔE₀₀) formula, accounting for human eye sensitivity non-linearities and chroma/hue rotation in saturated shades. Placeholder records are automatically suppressed from rankings. Because gloss, satin, metallic, and matte finishes reflect light differently, always validate a final color decision against a physical vinyl sample under natural daylight before cutting.
