Colorado Gray vs Studio Clay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Colorado Gray reads as blue-grey, while Studio Clay reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Colorado Gray (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Clay (LRV 29), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Colorado Gray runs blue while Studio Clay is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
