Distant Gray vs Lakeshore Green
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Distant Gray belongs to the green-grey family and Lakeshore Green to the green family. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Lakeshore Green (LRV 78), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.4 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.
