Iris Bliss vs Metropolitan

Iris Bliss and Metropolitan come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 16-point LRV gap — 50 for Metropolitan vs 34 for Iris Bliss — means Metropolitan will open up a space more effectively. Where Iris Bliss leans purple, Metropolitan reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 19.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
