Hearthstone vs Deep Fossil
Hearthstone (Benjamin Moore) and Deep Fossil (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 31 for Deep Fossil vs 27 for Hearthstone — means Deep Fossil will open up a space more effectively. Where Hearthstone leans blue, Deep Fossil reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room.
