Black vs Tuxedo
Black is a Benjamin Moore color while Tuxedo comes from Valspar. Hue-wise, Black belongs to the grey family and Tuxedo to the blue-grey family. At LRV 5 vs 2, Black will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 4.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
