Metro Gray vs Pelican Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Metro Gray belongs to the grey family and Pelican Gray to the blue-grey family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (58 vs 59), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Metro Gray runs yellow while Pelican Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
