Little Black DressBehrvsOff-BlackFarrow & BallΔE 2.3Subtle difference

Where Little Black Dress belongs to Behr's range, Off-Black is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Little Black Dress belongs to the blue-grey family and Off-Black to the grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (7 vs 6), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Little Black Dress runs blue while Off-Black is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
