The 18-point LRV gap — 34 for Adobe Dust vs 16 for Trout Gray — means Adobe Dust will open up a space more effectively. Where Adobe Dust leans red, Trout Gray reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
