Portland Gray vs Muted Blush
Where Portland Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Muted Blush is a Dulux color. Portland Gray reads as greige-grey, while Muted Blush reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Muted Blush (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Portland Gray (LRV 60), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Portland Gray runs red while Muted Blush is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.1, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
