Compare 3D Printer Filament Colours Side by Side

Choosing the right filament colour for your next print can be difficult, especially when colours, finishes and materials can look dramatically different once printed. The FilamentHub Filament Colour Comparison Tool allows you to compare 3D printer filament colours side by side across different materials including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA and TPU filament.

Whether you are deciding between matte vs gloss finishes, comparing shades of white or black, or matching colours for cosplay, prototypes or functional parts, this comparison tool helps you visualise the differences before purchasing filament.

Compare PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA and TPU Filament Colours

Different filament materials produce different surface finishes, even when using similar colours. For example, PLA Matte filament produces a softer non-reflective finish, while PLA Silk filament creates a glossy metallic appearance. PETG colours often appear deeper and more translucent, while ABS and ASA can have slightly different tones depending on the pigment and material blend.

Using this filament comparison tool, you can compare colours across multiple material types to help determine which filament best suits your project requirements.

Why Filament Colours Can Look Different

Filament colours can vary depending on print settings, lighting conditions, wall thickness, layer height and material type. Matte filaments diffuse light differently compared to gloss or silk materials, while translucent and transparent filaments can appear significantly different depending on infill density and print thickness.

Printed colour appearance can also vary between printers and nozzle temperatures. This is why side-by-side comparison is useful when choosing colours for multi-part prints, cosplay props, display models or functional components where colour consistency matters.
