Inner Balance vs French Gray
Inner Balance (Benjamin Moore) and French Gray (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 13-point LRV gap — 56 for Inner Balance vs 43 for French Gray — means Inner Balance will open up a space more effectively. Where Inner Balance leans yellow, French Gray reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
