Grappa vs Pelt
Grappa is a Benjamin Moore color while Pelt comes from Farrow & Ball. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 9 and 7, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Grappa's purple character against Pelt's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 4.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Grappa vs Pelt in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Grappa and Pelt are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Front Door
Front doors are seen in isolation against the rest of the facade, which makes them a high-stakes surface where even subtle differences matter. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
