Distant Gray vs Poolside

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Poolside reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 88 vs 28, Distant Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 60-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Distant Gray's green character against Poolside's blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 46.0, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
