Oilcloth vs Tweed Coat
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Oilcloth (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Tweed Coat (LRV 23), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Oilcloth runs yellow while Tweed Coat is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
