After Midnight vs After the Storm
Where After Midnight belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, After the Storm is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. After Midnight (LRV 6) reflects noticeably more light than After the Storm (LRV 3), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. After Midnight runs blue while After the Storm is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
