Downtown vs Upper West Side

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Upper West Side (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Downtown (LRV 33), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
