Warm Truffle vs Black grey

Warm TruffleDuluxvsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 53.2Very different colors

Warm Truffle (Dulux) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Warm Truffle reads as greige-grey, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 40-point LRV gap — 46 for Warm Truffle vs 6 for Black grey — means Warm Truffle will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 53.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Warm Truffle vs Black grey in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Warm Truffle and Black grey in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.

Living Room

A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Warm Truffle reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Black grey.

House

A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Warm Truffle returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

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