Shark Gray vs Studio Clay
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Shark Gray belongs to the grey family and Studio Clay to the greige-grey family. Studio Clay (LRV 29) reflects noticeably more light than Shark Gray (LRV 23), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Shark Gray runs blue while Studio Clay is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.2, 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.
