Abalone vs Nimbus

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 62 vs 59, Abalone will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Abalone's red character against Nimbus's yellow and red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.2, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
