Himalayan Trek vs Shadow Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Himalayan Trek belongs to the greige-grey family and Shadow Gray to the blue-grey family. Himalayan Trek (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Shadow Gray (LRV 40), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Himalayan Trek runs red while Shadow Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
