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.

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.
