Granite Dust vs Moth Gray

Granite DustBehrvsMoth GrayBehrΔE 2.1Subtle difference

Both are Behr colors. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 66 vs 63, Moth Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 2.1, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
