Arctic Gray vs Grappa
Arctic Gray and Grappa come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Arctic Gray reads as green-grey, while Grappa reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 52-point LRV gap — 61 for Arctic Gray vs 9 for Grappa — means Arctic Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Arctic Gray leans green, Grappa reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 53.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Arctic Gray vs Grappa Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Arctic Gray on one side and Grappa 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.
