Balboa Mist vs Shark
Balboa Mist (Benjamin Moore) and Shark (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Balboa Mist reads as beige-greige, while Shark reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 73 for Shark vs 66 for Balboa Mist — means Shark will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.

Digital color is approximate.
