Black vs Obsidian Green
Black (Benjamin Moore) and Obsidian Green (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. The 4-point LRV gap — 5 for Black vs 1 for Obsidian Green — means Black will open up a space more effectively. Where Black leans neutral, Obsidian Green reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
Black vs Obsidian Green Color Comparison
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.
