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. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Imperial Gray on one side and Raindance on the other.
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.
