Normandy vs River Silt

Normandy and River Silt come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Normandy belongs to the blue-grey family and River Silt to the greige-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 22 vs 21 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Normandy leans blue, River Silt reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
