Comet vs Hampshire Gray
Comet and Hampshire Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Comet reads as blue-grey, while Hampshire Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 11-point LRV gap — 36 for Comet vs 25 for Hampshire Gray — means Comet will open up a space more effectively. Where Comet leans blue, Hampshire Gray reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
