Forest Floor vs Lamp Black
Forest Floor (Benjamin Moore) and Lamp Black (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 11-point LRV gap — 14 for Forest Floor vs 3 for Lamp Black — means Forest Floor will open up a space more effectively. Where Forest Floor leans warm, 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.

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.
