Black Raspberry and Swept Away come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Black Raspberry reads as grey, while Swept Away reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 56-point LRV gap — 63 for Swept Away vs 7 for Black Raspberry — means Swept Away will open up a space more effectively. Where Black Raspberry leans purple, Swept Away reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 59.4 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.
