Shiny Luster vs Pearl Grey
Where Shiny Luster belongs to Behr's range, Pearl Grey is a Dulux color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (72 vs 71), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Shiny Luster runs green while Pearl Grey is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 0.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
