Angelina vs French Gray
Where Angelina belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. Angelina reads as pink-purple, while French Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Angelina (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than French Gray (LRV 43), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Angelina runs red while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
