Purple Haze vs Black grey
Purple Haze (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 17-point LRV gap — 23 for Purple Haze vs 6 for Black grey — means Purple Haze will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 34.9 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.

Purple Haze vs Black grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Purple Haze 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.
