Distant Gray vs Pearl Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Pearl Gray (LRV 74), a difference of 15 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 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Distant Gray on one side and Pearl Gray on the other.
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.
