Dark Pewter vs Hidden Falls
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 11 and 9, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Dark Pewter's blue character against Hidden Falls's green and blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
