Smoked Truffle vs Artichoke
Where Smoked Truffle belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Artichoke is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Smoked Truffle (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Artichoke (LRV 21), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Smoked Truffle runs red while Artichoke is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
