Default San Marino Blue vs Twilight Blue Pearl

Whats the difference between San Marino Blue and Twilight Blue Pearl? Both codes are BW5 unless I am mistaken.

Thanks
P.J.

Nissan uses the same color and paint code under different names on both Nissans and Infinity brands as well as different models.

For example, QX1 goes by the names Glacier Pearl, Pikes Peak White & Phantom White. The marketing oriented names for the Z colors based on famous racing related sites, wouldn't make much sense on a mini van or Sentra sedan, would they?

None. BW5 is also Twilight Blue Met. Don't be concerned with the name, BW5 is BW5.

lol fancy color code names. A non-car enthusiast would say it's just plain dark blue.

Thanks to everyone helping out. Since this color is pretty different than a regular gloss black, think it would be too risky to spray? I can always remove the hood and bring it in a heated garage.
