Black grey vs Begonia
Black grey (RAL Classic) and Begonia (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Black grey belongs to the blue-grey family and Begonia to the pink-red family. The 20-point LRV gap — 26 for Begonia vs 6 for Black grey — means Begonia will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 60.6 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.
