Chateau vs Herbal Escape
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Herbal Escape (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Chateau (LRV 37), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chateau runs red while Herbal Escape is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
