Palm vs Black grey

PalmFarrow & BallvsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 62.4Very different colors

Palm (Farrow & Ball) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Palm belongs to the green family and Black grey to the blue-grey family. The 52-point LRV gap — 58 for Palm vs 6 for Black grey — means Palm will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 62.4 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.
