Hush vs Lamp Black
Hush (Behr) and Lamp Black (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 50-point LRV gap — 53 for Hush vs 3 for Lamp Black — means Hush will open up a space more effectively. Where Hush leans green, Lamp Black reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 59.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
