Crownsville Gray vs River Gorge Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. River Gorge Gray (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Crownsville Gray (LRV 22), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crownsville Gray runs yellow while River Gorge Gray is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
