French Colony vs Silver grey
French Colony is a Behr color while Silver grey comes from RAL Classic. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 34 and 32, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 4.6, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
