French BeretBenjamin MoorevsSilver FoxBenjamin MooreΔE 39.9Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. French Beret reads as grey, while Silver Fox reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Fox (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than French Beret (LRV 9), a difference of 35 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. French Beret runs blue while Silver Fox is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 39.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
