Powell Gray vs Thunderstorm
Powell Gray is a Benjamin Moore color while Thunderstorm comes from Cloverdale Paint. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. With LRVs of 15 and 13, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.7, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
