Flint Smoke vs Marina Gray
Flint Smoke is a Behr color while Marina Gray comes from Benjamin Moore. Flint Smoke reads as blue-grey, while Marina Gray reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 43 and 44, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a blue quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. With a ΔE of 1.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
