Picket Fence vs Grey Heron
Picket Fence is a Benjamin Moore color while Grey Heron comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. With LRVs of 63 and 65, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Picket Fence's red character against Grey Heron's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 0.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.

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.
