Evening Grove vs French Gray
Where Evening Grove belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. French Gray (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Grove (LRV 14), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Evening Grove runs yellow and red while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
