Gargoyle vs Shale
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. At LRV 50 vs 19, Shale will read as the brighter of the two — a 32-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 27.4, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Gargoyle vs Shale Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gargoyle on one side and Shale on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
