GuesthouseBenjamin MoorevsGrey BlueRAL ClassicΔE 52.3Very different colors

Guesthouse is a Benjamin Moore color while Grey Blue comes from RAL Classic. Hue-wise, Guesthouse belongs to the beige family and Grey Blue to the blue-grey family. At LRV 40 vs 7, Guesthouse will read as the brighter of the two — a 32-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 52.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
