Carbon Black (E46) vs Jerez Black

after a quick search, I would like some input from someone who has experience with both or has seem them side by side. Is one more blue than the other?

Thanks in advance.

Jarez is more blue and lighter in good lighting conditions

Carbon Black is darker and less metallic compares to JB's nice shine

I have seen both side by side.
Carbon black has a deeper blue. The flake in carbon black is slightly more pronounced. In terms of "blackness", I think they are similar.

Azurite isn't a bad choice for a blue/black colour,

Perfect explanation, Carbon does have a nice blue tint to it.
