Plum Royale vs Storm
Plum Royale and Storm come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. The 29-point LRV gap — 36 for Storm vs 6 for Plum Royale — means Storm will open up a space more effectively. Where Plum Royale leans purple, Storm reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 41.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
