Coventry Gray and Handmade come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Coventry Gray reads as grey, while Handmade reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 20-point LRV gap — 68 for Handmade vs 48 for Coventry Gray — means Handmade will open up a space more effectively. Where Coventry Gray leans green, Handmade reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.0 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.
