Carbon Copy vs Raisin Cake
Carbon Copy is a Behr color while Raisin Cake comes from Dulux. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land.

The tonal difference — Carbon Copy's green character against Raisin Cake's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Carbon Copy vs Raisin Cake in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Carbon Copy and Raisin Cake 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.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.

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.
