City Shadow vs Thunder Clouds
Where City Shadow belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Thunder Clouds is a Dulux color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Thunder Clouds (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than City Shadow (LRV 14), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. City Shadow runs green while Thunder Clouds is decidedly neutral, 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.
