Azores vs French Gray
Azores (Benjamin Moore) and French Gray (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Azores reads as green-grey, while French Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 43 for French Gray vs 34 for Azores — means French Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Azores leans green, French Gray reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 15.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Azores on one side and French 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.
