Black vs Limousine Leather

BlackBehrvsLimousine LeatherBehrΔE 1.5Subtle difference

Black and Limousine Leather come from the same Behr collection. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 6 vs 5 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Black leans yellow, Limousine Leather reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.5 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Black vs Limousine Leather in Real Spaces

1 real room side by side. Black and Limousine Leather are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Bathroom

Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
