Regent Green vs Off-Black
Regent Green (Benjamin Moore) and Off-Black (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Regent Green reads as blue-green, while Off-Black reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 6 vs 6 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Regent Green leans blue, Off-Black reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Regent Green vs Off-Black in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Regent Green and Off-Black are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Regent Green reads more restrained here, while Off-Black adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Regent Green reads more restrained here, while Off-Black adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.

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.
