Seagrove vs French Gray
Where Seagrove belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. Seagrove reads as blue, while French Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Seagrove (LRV 73) reflects noticeably more light than French Gray (LRV 43), a difference of 30 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Seagrove runs green and blue while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
