Garrison RedBenjamin MoorevsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 33.6Very different colors

Garrison Red is a Benjamin Moore color while Black grey comes from RAL Classic. Garrison Red reads as pink-red, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 14 vs 6, Garrison Red will read as the brighter of the two — a 8-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 33.6, 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.
