Cordite vs Zen Retreat
Cordite is a Behr color while Zen Retreat comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 13 and 13, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
