Imperial Gray vs Raspberry Ice
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Imperial Gray reads as green-grey, while Raspberry Ice reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Raspberry Ice (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Imperial Gray (LRV 47), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Imperial Gray runs green while Raspberry Ice is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 19.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Imperial Gray vs Raspberry Ice Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Imperial Gray on one side and Raspberry Ice 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.
