Embassy GreenBenjamin MoorevsGrey BlueRAL ClassicΔE 44.4Very different colors

Embassy Green is a Benjamin Moore color while Grey Blue comes from RAL Classic. Embassy Green reads as beige-green, while Grey Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 42 vs 7, Embassy Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 35-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 44.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
