Sioux Falls vs French Gray

Sioux FallsBenjamin MoorevsFrench GrayFarrow & BallΔE 17.8Distinct difference

Sioux Falls is a Benjamin Moore color while French Gray comes from Farrow & Ball. Sioux Falls reads as blue-green, while French Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 43 vs 29, French Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 14-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sioux Falls's green character against French Gray's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 17.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
