Smoke & Mirrors vs Soft Grey
Smoke & Mirrors is a Benjamin Moore color while Soft Grey comes from Jotun. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. With LRVs of 42 and 40, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Smoke & Mirrors's yellow and red character against Soft Grey's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.9, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart.
