Cool Ashes vs Soho Loft
Cool Ashes is a Behr color while Soho Loft comes from Benjamin Moore. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 29 and 30, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Cool Ashes's yellow character against Soho Loft's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
