Dark Ash vs Mystere

Dark Ash and Mystere come from the same Behr collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 9-point LRV gap — 25 for Mystere vs 15 for Dark Ash — means Mystere will open up a space more effectively. Where Dark Ash leans blue, Mystere reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
