Gray Lake vs Purple Lotus
Gray Lake and Purple Lotus come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Gray Lake reads as green-grey, while Purple Lotus reads as grey-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 69-point LRV gap — 79 for Gray Lake vs 10 for Purple Lotus — means Gray Lake will open up a space more effectively. Where Gray Lake leans green, Purple Lotus reads purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 60.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
