Collingwood vs Gallery Buff

Collingwood and Gallery Buff come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 15-point LRV gap — 62 for Collingwood vs 46 for Gallery Buff — means Collingwood 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 10.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
