Elephant Gray vs Studio Clay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Elephant Gray reads as grey, while Studio Clay reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Elephant Gray (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Studio Clay (LRV 29), a difference of 13 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. With a ΔE of 11.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
