Night Shade vs Trout Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Trout Gray (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Night Shade (LRV 6), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Night Shade runs red while Trout Gray is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 21.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
