Himalayan Trek vs French Gray
Where Himalayan Trek belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Himalayan Trek belongs to the greige-grey family and French Gray to the beige-greige family. Himalayan Trek (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than French Gray (LRV 43), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Himalayan Trek runs red while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
