GreyhoundBenjamin MoorevsFrench GrayFarrow & BallΔE 11.2Distinct difference

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.
