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.
