Powell Gray vs Raccoon Fur
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Powell Gray (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Raccoon Fur (LRV 8), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 11.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
