Woodstock TanBenjamin MoorevsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 46.6Very different colors

Woodstock Tan (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Woodstock Tan reads as beige-greige, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 22-point LRV gap — 29 for Woodstock Tan vs 6 for Black grey — means Woodstock Tan will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 46.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate.

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