Flawless vs Imperial Gray

Flawless and Imperial Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Flawless belongs to the beige family and Imperial Gray to the green-grey family. The 23-point LRV gap — 70 for Flawless vs 47 for Imperial Gray — means Flawless will open up a space more effectively. Where Flawless leans red, Imperial Gray reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 20.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
