Flint Smoke vs French Silver
Both from Behr's palette. Flint Smoke reads as blue-grey, while French Silver reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. French Silver (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Flint Smoke (LRV 43), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
