Black Raspberry vs Scenic Drive paint color comparison

Black Raspberry vs Scenic Drive

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Black Raspberry reads as grey, while Scenic Drive reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Scenic Drive (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Black Raspberry (LRV 7), a difference of 33 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Raspberry runs purple while Scenic Drive is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 46.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
