Black Knight vs Night Watch
Black Knight is a Benjamin Moore color while Night Watch comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 5 and 4, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Black Knight's blue character against Night Watch's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 0.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
