Yellow Iris vs Black grey
Yellow Iris (Benjamin Moore) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Yellow Iris reads as beige-yellow, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 71-point LRV gap — 77 for Yellow Iris vs 6 for Black grey — means Yellow Iris will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 75.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Yellow Iris vs Black grey Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Yellow Iris on one side and Black grey 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.
