Nightingale vs Chic Shadow
Nightingale is a Benjamin Moore color while Chic Shadow comes from Dulux. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 53 vs 46, Chic Shadow will read as the brighter of the two — a 7-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Nightingale's red character against Chic Shadow's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 2.3, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
