Cordite vs Summer Shadow
Cordite is a Behr color while Summer Shadow comes from PPG. 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 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
