Marina Gray vs Subway Tile®
Marina Gray and Subway Tile® come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Marina Gray reads as grey, while Subway Tile® reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 44 vs 43 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Marina Gray leans blue, Subway Tile® reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
