River Gorge Gray vs Rockport Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Rockport Gray (LRV 37) reflects noticeably more light than River Gorge Gray (LRV 33), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. River Gorge Gray runs yellow and red while Rockport Gray is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
