Stampede vs Olive grey

StampedeBenjamin MoorevsOlive greyRAL ClassicΔE 2.2Subtle difference

Stampede is a Benjamin Moore color while Olive grey comes from RAL Classic. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. With LRVs of 20 and 22, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 2.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
