Rainstorm vs Artichoke
Rainstorm is a Benjamin Moore color while Artichoke comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 30 vs 21, Rainstorm will read as the brighter of the two — a 9-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Rainstorm's green character against Artichoke's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 15.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
