Eggplant vs Lamp Black

EggplantBenjamin MoorevsLamp BlackLittle GreeneΔE 26.1Very different colors

Eggplant (Benjamin Moore) and Lamp Black (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Eggplant belongs to the pink family and Lamp Black to the grey family. The 8-point LRV gap — 11 for Eggplant vs 3 for Lamp Black — means Eggplant will open up a space more effectively. Where Eggplant leans red, Lamp Black reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 26.1 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.
