Cracked Pepper vs Nightfall
Where Cracked Pepper belongs to Behr's range, Nightfall is a Benjamin Moore color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (8 vs 8), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
