French Beret vs Night Shade
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 9 vs 6, French Beret will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — French Beret's blue character against Night Shade's red — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 11.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
