Caribbean Cool vs Black grey
Caribbean Cool (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Caribbean Cool reads as blue, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 51-point LRV gap — 57 for Caribbean Cool vs 6 for Black grey — means Caribbean Cool will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 64.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.
