Red Oxide vs Grey Blue
Where Red Oxide belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Grey Blue is a RAL Classic color. Red Oxide reads as pink-red, while Grey Blue reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Red Oxide (LRV 11) reflects noticeably more light than Grey Blue (LRV 7), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. With a ΔE of 47.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Red Oxide on one side and Grey Blue 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.
