Kiwi vs Black grey

KiwiBenjamin MoorevsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 59.8Very different colors

Kiwi (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Kiwi belongs to the green-yellow family and Black grey to the blue-grey family. The 30-point LRV gap — 36 for Kiwi vs 6 for Black grey — means Kiwi will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 59.8 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.
