Colored PPF Color Guide: 200+ Colors Across 6 Finish Series

What Colored PPF Options Does Paltrix Offer?

Paltrix Chroma is the industry's most comprehensive colored PPF range, with 200+ colors spanning six finish series.

Unlike traditional paint protection film, which is limited to clear or satin finishes, Chroma allows vehicle owners to protect their paint while simultaneously transforming or enhancing its colour. Every Chroma film is built on the same advanced 7.5-mil TPU platform as our clear Armor line, meaning you get identical impact protection, self-healing capability, and 10-year warranty coverage regardless of which colour you choose.

The six series are designed to cover the full spectrum of automotive colour preferences. Whether you want a discreet factory-matching solid, a sophisticated metallic flake, an aggressive matte finish, a luminous pearl effect, an exotic carbon look, or a mesmerizing colour-shifting chameleon, there is a Chroma option for you.

Solid Series: Which OEM Colors Are Available?

The Solid series offers 10 colors designed to match or complement popular OEM paint codes from leading automotive manufacturers.

Solid Series Browse the full Solid series — OEM-matched colors for factory finish.

These are pure, non-metallic colors with a glossy finish that replicates the look of factory paint. They are the go-to choice for owners who want to protect their vehicle's original colour with seamless accuracy or who want a clean, classic aesthetic.

The Solid range includes iconic shades inspired by the world's most desirable factory colours. Miami Blue captures the vibrant, attention-grabbing turquoise that has become one of Porsche's most sought-after PTS colours. Rosso Corsa Red delivers the quintessential Italian sports car red, rich and unmistakable. Mountain Grey replicates the sophisticated, understated grey that Audi made famous on their performance lineup.

Additional Solid series colours span the essential palette: deep blacks, pure whites, racing greens, navy blues, and warm silvers. Each colour is formulated to deliver consistent, uniform coverage across every panel, ensuring that adjacent surfaces match perfectly.

Metallic Series: How Do Metallic PPF Colors Differ?

The Metallic series features 8 colors embedded with finely milled aluminium flakes that create depth, sparkle, and a luxurious shimmer under changing light conditions.

Metallic Series Metallic PPF adds movement to flat panels and curves.

Metallic finishes are among the most popular in the automotive world because they add visual dimension that solid colours simply cannot achieve. The aluminium particles catch and reflect light at different angles, producing a living, dynamic surface that shifts character throughout the day.

Paltrix Metallic PPF colours include sophisticated options like deep metallic gunmetal, brilliant silver metallic, rich burgundy metallic, and midnight blue metallic. Each colour is engineered with precisely calibrated flake sizes to ensure a smooth, OEM-quality appearance rather than the coarse, glittery look that lower-quality metallic films can produce.

Metallic PPF is particularly effective on vehicles with strong body lines and sculpted panels, where the light-catching properties of the metallic flake accentuate the car's design language.

Matte Series: What Makes Matte Colored PPF Unique?

The Matte series delivers 5 colors with a low-gloss, satin-like finish that gives vehicles an aggressive, contemporary aesthetic.

Matte Series Matte PPF transforms aggressive body lines into something cinematic.

Matte finishes have surged in popularity across the automotive world, from factory offerings by BMW and Mercedes to aftermarket conversions. Paltrix Chroma Matte lets you achieve this coveted look while maintaining full PPF protection, something that traditional matte vinyl wraps cannot offer with the same durability.

The Matte colour palette focuses on shades that work exceptionally well with low-gloss finishes: matte black, matte grey, matte white, matte military green, and matte dark blue. Each delivers a stealthy, purposeful appearance that transforms the vehicle's character. Matte black is the perennial favourite for its ability to make body lines and creases pop while eliminating the reflections that gloss finishes produce.

For owners choosing between Paltrix's dedicated satin line and the Chroma Matte series, the distinction is straightforward: Stealth converts your existing paint colour to a satin finish, while Chroma Matte adds both colour and a matte effect simultaneously.

Pearl Series: What Is Pearl PPF and When Should You Choose It?

The Pearl series offers 5 colors infused with synthetic mica particles that produce a soft, iridescent glow with subtle colour-shifting properties.

Pearl Series Pearl PPF — depth and shimmer that shifts with the light.

Pearl finishes sit between solid and metallic in terms of visual effect. Where metallic flakes create sharp sparkle, pearl particles produce a smoother, more ethereal luminescence that shifts hue depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions.

Pearl PPF colours include pearl white, pearl pink, pearl gold, pearl green, and pearl blue. Pearl white is arguably the most popular pearl colour in the automotive world, prized for its ability to appear clean white in direct sunlight while revealing subtle warm or cool undertones in shadow. The effect is sophisticated and premium, often associated with high-end luxury vehicles.

Pearl finishes photograph beautifully and create stunning results on camera, making them a popular choice for content creators, show car builders, and anyone who appreciates the finer details of automotive aesthetics. Browse the Pearl series product page to see each colour in detail.

Carbon Series: What Does Carbon PPF Look Like?

Carbon is Paltrix's single specialty finish that replicates the marbled, organic pattern of forged composite carbon fibre.

Unlike traditional woven carbon fibre vinyl, which has a uniform, repetitive pattern, carbon features random, flowing marbling that makes each installation unique. No two vehicles wrapped in Carbon PPF will look exactly the same, giving every car a bespoke, one-of-a-kind appearance.

The carbon aesthetic has become increasingly popular in the supercar and hypercar world, with manufacturers like Lamborghini offering it as a factory option. Paltrix brings this exotic look to any vehicle while providing the same 7.5-mil TPU protection as the rest of the Chroma range. The finish combines dark grey and black marbling with subtle highlights that create depth and visual interest from every angle.

For owners seeking the most dramatic visual transformation available in PPF form, Carbon delivers unmatched exclusivity. See real-world installations on the Carbon product page.

Chameleon Series: How Does Colour-Shifting PPF Work?

The Chameleon series features a single, extraordinary film that shifts between multiple colours as the viewing angle changes.

Using advanced multi-layer optical interference pigments, Chameleon PPF creates a dynamic, living surface that transitions across a spectrum of hues. From one angle the film might appear deep purple; step to the side and it shifts to green, then to copper or gold as you move around the vehicle.

This colour-shifting effect is produced by microscopic layers of metal oxide that interfere with light waves at different wavelengths. The result is a finish that is impossible to replicate with conventional paint and that guarantees your vehicle will turn heads at every car meet, show, or simply parked on the street. Chameleon PPF is the ultimate statement piece for owners who want their vehicle to be truly unforgettable.

View the mesmerizing Chameleon effect on the Chameleon product page and learn more about how colored PPF technology makes these effects possible within a protective TPU film.

How Do You Choose the Right Colored PPF for Your Vehicle?

Choosing the right colored PPF comes down to three factors: your vehicle's design language, your personal style, and how you use your car.

Daily drivers who want subtle enhancement typically gravitate toward the Solid or Metallic series, which deliver OEM-quality colour with the added benefit of impact protection. Weekend warriors and show car owners often prefer the visual drama of Pearl, Matte, Carbon, or Chameleon finishes.

Consider your vehicle's body lines and proportions when selecting a finish. Vehicles with clean, minimalist designs often look stunning in Solid or Matte colours, while aggressively styled sports cars and supercars benefit from the depth of Metallic or Pearl finishes. Large luxury sedans and SUVs carry Carbon beautifully, as the expansive panel surfaces showcase the marbled pattern to maximum effect.
