Smoked Truffle vs Sparrow
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Smoked Truffle reads as grey, while Sparrow reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 26 vs 21, Smoked Truffle will read as the brighter of the two — a 5-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 5.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Smoked Truffle on one side and Sparrow on the other.
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.
