Quarry Rock vs Thames Fog

Quarry RockBenjamin MoorevsThames FogValsparΔE 16.7Distinct difference

Quarry Rock is a Benjamin Moore color while Thames Fog comes from Valspar. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 27 vs 15, Thames Fog will read as the brighter of the two — a 13-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 16.7, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
