Badlands vs Black grey
Badlands (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Badlands belongs to the pink-red family and Black grey to the blue-grey family. The 18-point LRV gap — 25 for Badlands vs 6 for Black grey — means Badlands will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 49.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Badlands on one side and Black grey 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.
