PeppermintBenjamin MoorevsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 69.6Very different colors

Peppermint (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Peppermint belongs to the pink-red family and Black grey to the blue-grey family. The 68-point LRV gap — 74 for Peppermint vs 6 for Black grey — means Peppermint will open up a space more effectively.

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.
