Amorous vs Distant Gray
Amorous and Distant Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Amorous belongs to the grey family and Distant Gray to the green-grey family. The 61-point LRV gap — 88 for Distant Gray vs 27 for Amorous — means Distant Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Amorous leans purple, Distant Gray reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 39.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Amorous vs Distant Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Amorous on one side and Distant Gray on the other.
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.
