Backwoods vs Grappa
Backwoods and Grappa come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Backwoods belongs to the green-grey family and Grappa to the grey family. The 4-point LRV gap — 13 for Backwoods vs 9 for Grappa — means Backwoods will open up a space more effectively. Where Backwoods leans green, Grappa reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Backwoods vs Grappa Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Backwoods 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.
