Black Jack vs Denim Drift

Black JackBenjamin MoorevsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 32.6Very different colors

Black Jack is a Benjamin Moore color while Denim Drift comes from Dulux. Black Jack reads as grey, while Denim Drift reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 27 vs 6, Denim Drift will read as the brighter of the two — a 21-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Black Jack's blue and purple character against Denim Drift's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 32.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Bathroom

Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Denim Drift will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Black Jack would.

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.
