Constellation vs Distant Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Constellation belongs to the blue family and Distant Gray to the green-grey family. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Constellation (LRV 73), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Constellation runs blue while Distant Gray is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
