First Light vs Black grey
First Light (Little Greene) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. First Light reads as beige-yellow, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 85-point LRV gap — 92 for First Light vs 6 for Black grey — means First Light will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 78.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
