After the Rain vs North Island
Where After the Rain belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, North Island is a Cloverdale Paint 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 (50 vs 50), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 3.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
