Ashland Slate vs Temptation

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Ashland Slate belongs to the grey family and Temptation to the blue-grey family. Ashland Slate (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Temptation (LRV 11), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
