Firefly vs Lamp Black
Firefly (Benjamin Moore) and Lamp Black (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Firefly reads as beige, while Lamp Black reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 52-point LRV gap — 55 for Firefly vs 3 for Lamp Black — means Firefly will open up a space more effectively. Where Firefly leans red, Lamp Black reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 82.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
