Is phantom grey on my 94 lude 2.2 UK the same as graphite grey 93 lude si? On pictures they look identical but side by side?

Graphite grey is a metallic heavy dark grey. Phantom grey is a pearlecent/metallic grey with hues of blue and Violet.

Hello everyone, first post.

Just wondering, does phantom grey look black in real life?
