Gotham vs Lilac Gray
Where Gotham belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Lilac Gray is a Valspar color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Lilac Gray (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Gotham (LRV 22), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
