Hearth Red vs Grey Blue

Hearth RedBenjamin MoorevsGrey BlueRAL ClassicΔE 31.0Very different colors

Hearth Red (Benjamin Moore) and Grey Blue (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Hearth Red belongs to the pink-red family and Grey Blue to the blue-grey family. The 5-point LRV gap — 13 for Hearth Red vs 7 for Grey Blue — means Hearth Red will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 31.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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.
