Rainy Afternoon vs Pompeian Ash
Where Rainy Afternoon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pompeian Ash is a Little Greene color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Rainy Afternoon (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Pompeian Ash (LRV 11), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
