Red Oxide vs Black grey
Red Oxide (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Red Oxide reads as pink-red, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 5-point LRV gap — 11 for Red Oxide vs 6 for Black grey — means Red Oxide will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 48.2 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.

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