Metropolis vs Tabby Cat Gray
Where Metropolis belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tabby Cat Gray is a Valspar color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Tabby Cat Gray (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Metropolis (LRV 24), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
