Stormy Sky vs S 7000-N
Where Stormy Sky belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 7000-N is a NCS color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Stormy Sky (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than S 7000-N (LRV 11), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Stormy Sky runs blue while S 7000-N is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
