Smoke Gray vs Temptation

Smoke Gray and Temptation come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. The 10-point LRV gap — 21 for Smoke Gray vs 11 for Temptation — means Smoke Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 14.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
