Baltic Gray vs Umbria Red

Baltic Gray and Umbria Red come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Baltic Gray reads as grey, while Umbria Red reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 32-point LRV gap — 44 for Baltic Gray vs 12 for Umbria Red — means Baltic Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 54.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
