Edgecomb Gray vs York Gray
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. At LRV 63 vs 59, Edgecomb Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 3.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Edgecomb Gray vs York Gray in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Edgecomb Gray and York Gray are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

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.
