Black Raspberry vs Intrigue

Black RaspberryBenjamin MoorevsIntrigueBenjamin MooreΔE 33.0 — Very different colors

Black Raspberry and Intrigue come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 18-point LRV gap — 24 for Intrigue vs 7 for Black Raspberry — means Intrigue will open up a space more effectively. Where Black Raspberry leans purple, Intrigue reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
