Splash vs French Gray

SplashBenjamin MoorevsFrench GrayFarrow & BallΔE 30.8Very different colors

Splash (Benjamin Moore) and French Gray (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Splash belongs to the blue family and French Gray to the beige-greige family. The 23-point LRV gap — 66 for Splash vs 43 for French Gray — means Splash will open up a space more effectively. Where Splash leans blue, French Gray reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 30.8 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.

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.
