French Canvas vs Black grey
French Canvas (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. French Canvas reads as beige-greige, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 68-point LRV gap — 74 for French Canvas vs 6 for Black grey — means French Canvas will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 70.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
