Gibraltar Cliffs vs Lampblack paint color comparison

Gibraltar Cliffs vs Lampblack

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Gibraltar Cliffs reads as blue-grey, while Lampblack reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Gibraltar Cliffs (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Lampblack (LRV 23), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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. 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.
