Bonsai Trunk vs Dark Lead Colour
Bonsai Trunk (Behr) and Dark Lead Colour (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 15 vs 15 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Bonsai Trunk leans yellow, Dark Lead Colour reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
