Amherst Gray vs Gargoyle

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Amherst Gray reads as grey, while Gargoyle reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (19 vs 19), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Amherst Gray runs yellow while Gargoyle is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
