Normandy vs Overcoat

Normandy and Overcoat come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Normandy reads as blue-grey, while Overcoat reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 22 for Normandy vs 15 for Overcoat — means Normandy will open up a space more effectively. Where Normandy leans blue, Overcoat reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
