Baltic Gray vs Normandy
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Baltic Gray reads as grey, while Normandy reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Baltic Gray (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Normandy (LRV 22), a difference of 22 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Baltic Gray runs red while Normandy is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
