Slate vs Urbane Grey
Where Slate belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Urbane Grey is a Little Greene color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Slate (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Urbane Grey (LRV 35), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Slate runs blue while Urbane Grey is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
