Imperial Gray vs Raindance

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Imperial Gray (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Raindance (LRV 43), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Imperial Gray runs green while Raindance is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 3.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
