Shadow Gray vs Tea
Shadow Gray and Tea come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Shadow Gray reads as blue-grey, while Tea reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 29-point LRV gap — 40 for Shadow Gray vs 10 for Tea — means Shadow Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Shadow Gray leans blue, Tea reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 50.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
