Pearl River vs Artichoke
Where Pearl River belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Artichoke is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Pearl River (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than Artichoke (LRV 21), a difference of 52 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pearl River runs green while Artichoke is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 38.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
