Abalone vs Sanctuary

Abalone and Sanctuary come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Abalone reads as greige-grey, while Sanctuary reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 62 for Abalone vs 42 for Sanctuary — means Abalone will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 15.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
