Hyper Black and Silver? Whats the difference...

Can someone please explain difference between wheel colors - hyper black and brilliant silver?

Because I swear, when tire dealer showed me hyper black, the hyper black looks more like silver, just with more reflection.

hyper black is sort of like black chrome, a highly shiny grey sorta color... lots of aftermarket wheels use this color

brilliant silver can be alot of things, but from what i gathered, its more metallic than standard silver finish, wheels in silver finish looks white when stared at the sun, where something like brilliant silver would look shiny

hard to make sense of it i knw

hyper black uses smaller metal particles so it looks closer to a chrome-like finish
(darker in color) than bright silver which uses larger metal particles.
