Black Ink vs Himalayan Trek
Black Ink and Himalayan Trek come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Black Ink belongs to the blue-grey family and Himalayan Trek to the greige-grey family. The 41-point LRV gap — 47 for Himalayan Trek vs 6 for Black Ink — means Himalayan Trek will open up a space more effectively. Where Black Ink leans blue, Himalayan Trek reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 51.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
