Black Ink vs Gull Wing Gray
Black Ink and Gull Wing Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 36-point LRV gap — 42 for Gull Wing Gray vs 6 for Black Ink — means Gull Wing Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 46.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
