Feather Gray vs Shale

Feather Gray and Shale come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Feather Gray reads as blue-grey, while Shale reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 58 for Feather Gray vs 50 for Shale — means Feather Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Feather Gray leans blue, Shale reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
