Ghost Ship vs Black grey

Ghost ShipPPGvsBlack greyRAL ClassicΔE 33.8Very different colors

Ghost Ship (PPG) and Black grey (RAL Classic) come from different manufacturers. Ghost Ship reads as greige-grey, while Black grey reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 20 for Ghost Ship vs 6 for Black grey — means Ghost Ship will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 33.8 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.
