Hudson Bay vs Black grey
Hudson Bay (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hudson Bay reads as blue, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 10 for Hudson Bay vs 6 for Black grey — means Hudson Bay will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 18.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hudson Bay on one side and Black grey on the other.
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.
