Night Shade vs Soot

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Night Shade belongs to the grey family and Soot to the blue-grey family. With LRVs of 6 and 6, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Night Shade's red character against Soot's blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
