Spring Sky vs French Gray
Where Spring Sky belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, French Gray is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Spring Sky belongs to the blue family and French Gray to the beige-greige family. Spring Sky (LRV 63) reflects noticeably more light than French Gray (LRV 43), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Spring Sky runs blue while French Gray is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 20.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
