Latte vs French Gray
Where Latte belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. Latte reads as beige, while French Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Latte (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than French Gray (LRV 43), a difference of 28 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Latte runs red while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
