Oystershell vs Metal Flake
Oystershell is a Benjamin Moore color while Metal Flake comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. At LRV 72 vs 68, Metal Flake will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 1.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
