Sanctuary vs Thames Fog
Sanctuary 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 42 vs 27, Sanctuary will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 16.3, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.
