Amorous vs Lamp Black
Amorous (Benjamin Moore) and Lamp Black (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 25-point LRV gap — 27 for Amorous vs 3 for Lamp Black — means Amorous will open up a space more effectively. Both share a purple character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 40.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Amorous vs Lamp Black Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Amorous on one side and Lamp Black on the other.
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.
