Smoke vs Willow

Smoke and Willow come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Smoke reads as blue-grey, while Willow reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 47-point LRV gap — 56 for Smoke vs 9 for Willow — means Smoke will open up a space more effectively. Where Smoke leans cool, Willow reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 46.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
