Sharkskin vs Trailing Vines
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Sharkskin reads as grey, while Trailing Vines reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Sharkskin (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Trailing Vines (LRV 14), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
