Ashland Slate vs Deep Silver

Ashland Slate and Deep Silver come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 13-point LRV gap — 29 for Deep Silver vs 16 for Ashland Slate — means Deep Silver will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 13.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
