Distant Gray vs Silver Bells

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Distant Gray reads as green-grey, while Silver Bells reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Distant Gray (LRV 88) reflects noticeably more light than Silver Bells (LRV 69), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Distant Gray runs green while Silver Bells is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
