Soot vs Wire Frame Glasses
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Soot reads as blue-grey, while Wire Frame Glasses reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (6 vs 6), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Soot runs blue while Wire Frame Glasses is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Soot vs Wire Frame Glasses Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Soot on one side and Wire Frame Glasses 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.
