Mineral Alloy vs Trench Coat
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mineral Alloy belongs to the blue-grey family and Trench Coat to the beige-greige family. Trench Coat (LRV 36) reflects noticeably more light than Mineral Alloy (LRV 28), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mineral Alloy runs blue while Trench Coat is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
