Polished Slate vs Verdigris

Polished Slate and Verdigris come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Polished Slate reads as blue, while Verdigris reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 15 vs 17 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Polished Slate leans blue, Verdigris reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
