Evening Green vs Black grey

Evening GreenJotunvsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 35.9Very different colors

Evening Green (Jotun) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Evening Green reads as green-grey, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 17-point LRV gap — 24 for Evening Green vs 6 for Black grey — means Evening Green will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 35.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison 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.
