Which color is closer to Gloss Black?

Does anyone know which color would be a better match to gloss black, Jet Black or Black Sapphire Metallic? Thanks.

and it also depends of whose paint and code that you use. I know for fact that Hyundai's black on the 2003 Tiburon was a pure black (mix) vs others

Jet black is pretty much gloss black... Black sapphire is a metallic color and has flakes in it so it wont resemble gloss black which is a solid color.

What he said.

"Gloss Black" isn't really a color. Gloss is just the finish. So Jet Black and Black Sapphire are both glossy on a car. If you mean absolute black, then Jet Black. Sapphire Black can sometimes have a tint of a different color depending on how the light hits it because of the metal flake.
